🍄 Amanita muscaria and reindeer? 🦌

Long, long ago before there were whispers of reindeer with red noses, it is believed that shamans would feed these mystical mushrooms to reindeer. Amanita are highly toxic, but the reindeer could eat and nullify the toxins while maintaining the hallucinogenic properties in their urine allowing the shamans to drink it and hold their sacred rituals.

But what about the lore of reindeer pulling Santas sleigh? We will be gifting that answer soon. 🎁

Though if you're itching to discover what other connections Amanita has to Holiday lore? You can do so by checking out our blog post!

It's winter solstice! ❄️

Stockings and reindeer and Santa Claus, oh my!

🍄 The red and white of the Amanita muscaria is iconic during the holidays. But are you aware of their history and the role they play in some of the lore revolving around this time of year?

Some holiday traditions have ties to these little beauties and the origins may surprise you. Interested in learning more? We have a blog post that will be sure to give you an fun story to tell your friends and family.

Did we mention that shamans may have consumed reindeer p*e? 🦌

🍪 Candy Cap cookies, anyone? It is national cookie day after all! 🍪

The delicious earthy maple flavor of Candy Cap mushrooms adds an amazing depth of flavor to this sable recipe. 🍁

- 2 teaspoons powdered candy cap mushrooms (about 1/4 cup dried mushrooms, finely ground in coffee grinder)
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, softened but cool (1/2 cup, 1 stick)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- flaky sea salt, such as Malden, for topping the cookies

1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the candy cap powder, butter, sugar and salt until well combined and slightly lightened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and pecans, mix on low until just combined. Fold the dough a few times by hand to make sure it is thoroughly combined.

2. Roll the dough into a log, about 12" long and 1" in diameter. This can be done in parchment paper, wax paper, or plastic wrap. Chill for about an hour or until firm. Dough can be kept in the fridge for several days or stored in the freezer for later use.

3. Preheat the oven to 350º. Let the log sit at room temperature for 10 or 15 minutes. Unwrap, and slice the log into 1/4 - 1/2" coins. To keep the cookies from flattening on one side, rotate every few slices. Arrange the cookies, one to two inches apart, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle each coin with several flecks of salt.

4. Bake nicely golden all over, about 15-25 minutes. Underbaked cookies will be bland and pasty, so let these go a bit longer than you think. They will crisp up as they cool.

You can enjoy these delicious cookies for up to a week. Just keep them in an airtight container.

Who needs a little GBC for the holidays? 🦃

Oops, we mean Green Bean Casserole. It’s our CEO, Trevor’s, favorite holiday dish after all!

Ingredients:

🍄‍🟫 ½ lb Mushrooms, sliced
🍄‍🟫 1 lb Green Beans
🍄‍🟫 ½ Yellow Onion, sliced
🍄‍🟫 2 Tbsp Flour*
🍄‍🟫 2 Tbsp Butter*
🍄‍🟫 1 ¼ C Heavy Cream*
🍄‍🟫 ¾ C Chicken Broth*
🍄‍🟫 1 Tbsp Thyme
🍄‍🟫 Crispy Onions
🍄‍🟫 Salt and Pepper

* Ingredients may be substituted for vegetarian/vegan/GF alternatives. Note that thin cream alternatives may yield a thinner sauce. Add an additional ½ tablespoon of flour to compensate. Can be made Gluten Free by adding 1-2 Tbsp corn starch slurry after step 7.

Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
2. In a large pot, blanch green beans in salted water for 2 minutes and shock in ice water.
3. In a large saute pan melt butter (or alternative) then saute onions until tender over medium heat.
4. Add mushrooms and saute until slightly browned over medium heat.
5. Reduce heat to low and add flour. Mix until all flour has absorbed liquid and butter in pan. It may brown to the bottom of the pan, this is okay! It's called fond and is full of flavor.
6. Add broth and mix. Use this to scrape the fond from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
7. Add heavy cream (or alternative), thyme and pepper.
8. Bring to simmer. Taste and add salt to taste. Cook 10 minutes.
9. Combine with green beans, top with crispy onions and bake for 15 minutes or until bubbling.

This can be made ahead of time and will keep for three days. Just add an additional 5-10 minutes of baking time.

Enjoy this delicious recipe created by our team member, Amanda!

It’s gravy time ya'll! 🍄‍🟫🍽️

Mushrooms bring incredible flavor to any gravy, making them (in our opinion) a must-have ingredient in holiday cooking. Need a recipe? We have a simple and delicious one below.

Packed with umami, mushrooms are the secret to taking your holiday gravy to the next level.

Recipe:

🔸2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
🔸1 shallot, finely chopped
🔸1 lb oyster mushrooms, chopped
🔸2 garlic cloves, minced
🔸1½ Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
🔸½ Tbsp rosemary, chopped
🔸3 Tbsp flour
🔸3 cups vegetable broth
🔸½ cup red wine (optional)
🔸Salt and pepper

Step 1: Heat the oil in a pot or large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and stir occasionally until mushrooms are tender and most of their juices have evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2: Add flour and stir constantly for 3 minutes.

Step 3: Stir in the red wine (or additional stock) and allow to simmer briefly, then add the stock and stir. Add salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary.

Step 4: Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

🟡 Does Phallus luteus have a trick or treat bag of their own?

Our last mushroom in the stinkhorn saga is a relative of the Veiled Lady. This odd looking fungus differs from its well known look-a-like, Phallus indusiatus, by its bright yellow coloring.

Like other stinkhorns, this species has a pungent slime on its cap to attract insects. But in addition to a spore-rich slime, the lacy skirt is also a source of spores for this species!

Despite it being a bit noxious it is edible and rich in protein, carbs, and fiber.

Something tells us that this veil wouldn’t do so well at holding treats though. 🤔

Lion’s mane may offer support during cold and flu season ☁🍄 Animal research has revealed that polysaccharides in Lion’s Mane strengthen intestinal immunity, activating important immune responses like strengthening the body’s cells that fight off infections, helping macrophages destroy harmful invaders, and boosting “natural killer” cells that target infected cells. These compounds also enhance antibody secretion found in mucous membranes and activate intestinal cell signaling pathways, which protect against pathogens entering through the gut. 🦠 The mushroom’s unique protein, HEP3, shows promise as well, helping regulate gut bacteria, activate white blood cells, and calm inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines. HEP3 may even offer support in gut health during antibiotic use and reduce tumor growth in mice. 💡 One remarkable study demonstrated that supplementing with Lion’s Mane extract nearly ✨quadrupled✨ the lifespan of mice exposed to lethal salmonella doses by activating immune cells and protecting organs like the liver! With its wide-ranging immune benefits, Lion’s Mane could be a helpful boost for staying healthy during cold and flu season and supporting overall immune strength. ——— #lionsmane #hericium #mushrooms #fungi #functionalmushroom #immunity #coldseason #fluseason #functionalnutrition #research #didyouknow
