fancy mushrooms

I love stopping in at the Far West Fungi tent at the Ferry Building farmers market or their little shop. The owner is an absolute delight and if I had to describe him I'd say he's a bit like a more plump and mellow Anthony Bourdain with just as much passion about good food. I usually just ask him to make an assorted basket for me or tell him what I want to cook up like miso or seafood and get suggestions that are always spot on. Along with mushrooms they also sell foraged goods like sea beans and you may remember my thrill with their bringing in ramps a few months back. This gem is worth a visit.
