Indigo Milkcap

You will know the Indigo Milkcap by its singular appearance. The fungus is a exquisite specimen: its cap is ivory, its gills the sapphire of a summer sky. Sadly, they've become a rarity here in Colorado, on account of the weather. But don't fear. Plenty of people have taken to growing said mushrooms in their shacks and we all know why. Flowers are beautiful but they require unpredictable things like sunshine and warmth. Mushrooms, though, they're elegant. You rarely need more than a warm corpse in order to grow an attractive harvest. But I digress. The Indigo Milkcap, on top of being spectacular-looking, is a unusual addition to any pantry. The granular texture will complicate mouthfeel, provide some necessary grain to any nutritional paste you may be forced to consume. If you're lucky, your mushrooms will taste lithely of peppery notes, providing you the opportunity to subtly enhance any soup you create. Best of all, they will provide color to your every course.

Lion's Mane

What strangely beautiful things mushrooms are! I don't agree with popular consensus: it doesn't look very much like its namesake to me. Nonetheless, its appearance remains unequivocally distinctive, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anything that shares its characteristics. Be vigilant in your explorations of Colorado. Native to Northern America, this delicious fungus can still be found outside in the wilderness. If you stumble across them, pause and harvest everything you can. You won't find a better meat substitute in these woods, vegetarians! Best served with anything with flavour. In the old days, they pan-fried Lion's Mane with an excess of butter and garlic, and served along with meat dishes. But you don't have to do that here. Skip the veal, forget the beef, and let go of the chicken. Soak your Lion's Mane in seasoning and then roast it. You'll forget you ever needed meat.,
