I went to a mushroom festival (maybe you heard) and they were selling their prize winning mushrooms and entries, I couldn't resist buying a bunch. With luck, I secured five varieties and I only got a small container of shitakes because they were out. The positive side of being out of shitakes is that I tried other mushrooms I might not have if I had been able to buy more shitakes. Criminis, shitakes, portebellos, yellow oysters, gray oysters and maitakes were what I left with.

I was kinda sure I was going to make a tart with these mushrooms. I have been enamored with tarts this year, especially savory ones. Next step was to think of the flavors that mushrooms go well with, especially the ones that make the mushrooms really stand out. These were fresh mushrooms so they deserved the top spot. Right?!
