Mushroom Hunting

Filling the Sink is filling its basket with rovellons, camagrocs and trompetes de la mort as we go foraging for mushrooms. Full-time journalist and part-time mushroom hunter Alan Ruiz Terol heads into the woods with his guide Aniol on a quest to find the tastiest, most unusually-named mushrooms in Catalonia. Forager Brian Russell reveals why, unlike most, he's happy to let people know his favorite mushroom picking spots. Cristina Tomàs White and Guifré Jordan join Lorcan Doherty to discuss the rural-urban divide over mushrooms, how to cook them once you've found them, and some more of the weird and wonderful names that the Catalan language has for the various species.
