FUNGHI FACTOR

Interesting to read about the Italian mushroom industry. As everywhere, the price factor is one concentrating minds in Italy.

Energy costs are pushing everyone to the limit.

Of course the Italians are mad for their fungi. Stalker notes they have quite varied selections on supermarket shelves.

And they are also very keen on the wild varieties as evidenced by the arrays of porcini and chanterelles on display on market stalls.
