In New Brunswick, mushrooms inhabit the great salt marshes of the Bay of Fundy, the Tantramar marshes and the Petitcodiac. To be at their best, they shoudl be eaten within an hour of picking.
Prepare mushrooms by brushing carefully with a soft brush and scrape the surface lightly. Do not throw the stems away. They are as good as the caps. Peel only if the skin is tough.
To fry: dredge caps and stems with flour. Add to butter in hot pan and brown on both sides.
To cream: Cook until tender in boiling water or part milk. Use rich mik to make a cream sauce. Season. Serve on toast.
