Tried these two recipes so far...
Hedgehog Fungus and Squash Risotto
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
200 g hedgehog fungus
1 small orange squash/pumpkin
6 cloves of garlic
3 cups of arborio rice
knob of butter
Fresh Thyme
Olive Oil
1. slice squash and roast with garlic , olive oil thyme and pine nuts at 180deg for about 20 mins
2.chop hedgehog fungus into cubes pour over a pint of hot water leave to soak
3.Once the squash is soft and cooked
4. take out three garlic cloves from oven tray, chop garlic fry in olive oil, toss in the arborio rice , coat rish in oil mash in a few pieces of squash to give an organgey colour.
5. add the mushrooms slowly add the water from the mushroom ( this will act as a flavoursome stock)
6. chop squash into cubes... once the all the water is absorbed and rice is cooked ( though I like it with some bite) stir in squash and a tsp of butter.
7.sprinkle over fresh thyme and serve
Scalloped Hedgehogs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 medium red potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 pound hedgehog mushrooms, sliced (including stem)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions
Paprika to taste
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 bacon slices, chopped
In a buttered casserole dish, place half of the sliced potatoes and the cream. Add the sliced hedgehogs and cover with the remaining potatoes. Cover and bake in a preheated 375º oven for 25 minutes. Add the chives, paprika, and milk. Sprinkle with the cheese and bacon. Return to the oven, uncovered this time, and bake at 375º for another 20 minutes.

Yeah just substitute the hedgehogs with whatever you can get. I'm going back to the same place on Sunday for some more and hopefully some other varieties as well but it's getting pretty cold here overnight so only the big shrooms will guaranteed be ok.
Not that I'm going veggie or anything but these are good recipes for when you have non-meat eaters over for dinner. Obviously cook a steak for yourself like ;)
