Last week, my friend Afreen hosted a mushroom salon at her gorgeous, newly remodeled home in San Francisco.
Far West Fungi owners John and Toby Garrone brought a fantastic variety of mushrooms and guided the salon attendees through the mushroom cultivation process.
That's the Bear's Head (aka Lion's Mane) on the left, and Oyster mushrooms on the right.
I used to hate mushrooms as a kid, except on pizza. I never pictured myself at a mushroom salon, but the event was incredible.
That's Afreen at the center, speaking to owner Toby Garrone on the far right.
Afreen Wahab, of Cuisine Afreen, held a mushroom salon – an evening of mushroom discovery, cooking, and tasting, in her home in San Francisco last week. Far West Fungi owners John and Toby Garrone brought boxes of mushrooms, Afreen cooked, and we all enjoyed conversation and a glass or two of well paired wine.
