Host Sheri Castle explores why everyone’s talking about the wonders of mushrooms.
Sheri hunts for morels deep in the forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains with foraging experts Natalie Dechiara and Luke Gilbert. She then visits the home of farm-to-table pioneer John Fleer to use the morels (aka merkels) in a savory pie. In the kitchen, Sheri shares recipes for double mushroom soup and buttery sauteed mushrooms on toast, plus a tip for cleaning and keeping store-bought mushrooms.

Mushrooms have been around forever, but these tasty fungi are having a moment.
I'm going to show you a simple but impressive mushroom soup, and then classic buttery mushrooms on crunchy grilled bread.
We head into the woods and then to the kitchen where my friend John Fleer and I use them in an Appalachian inspired recipe you're gonna love.
