Shrimp of the Woods and Cherry Tomato Toasts

Shrimp of the Woods and Cherry Tomato Toasts

Sometimes when I go foraging for mushrooms, I come back with a bounty that I can hardly eat my way through. Other times, I come home with nothing but a handful, which was the case when I found these shrimp of the woods mushrooms, also known as aborted entoloma. 

What to do with a single handful of mushrooms?

Make mushroom toast! 

This is a very loose recipe and should be easy and uncomplicated. If you have more than a handful, simply expand the recipe and make more toasts. 

If like me, you only have a small amount, make yourself a nice a little lunch wth them; you won’t regret it!
