I thought I would drop a note about our new enterprise in Mushrooms. These come from India and as you would expect are perfect for soups and curries.
They can grow to giant sizes of a kilogram each. We have had them at 300grams.

Like this one the wife is holding. Edible stems and all, listed as gourmet and medicinal.
