271227 Thu Jun 03 13:22:00 -0700 2004 10 17 What's My Craving? 0 1428651 Where can I find fresh hen-of-the-wood mushrooms (maitake in Japanese)? I had a great salad at the Grocery on Smith last week and want to re-create it at home. It was the French Fry Salad and had sauteed hen-of-the-woods and fresh peas on a bed of fresh, flat-leaf parsley (there may have been bacon or proscuitto in there as well). The fries were on the side, and were playing the role of the superfluous starch. Thanks!

Haven't checked, but you can also probably find maitake (hadn't realized that they were the same!) at either of the Sunrise Marts (Stuyvesant Pl. or Broome St.). The one on Broome usually has a pretty good mushroom selection.

Don't know much about them since I'm a Morel man. Could have them for the picking if you share with me a good receipe.
