Is there a supplier of other "exotic" mushrooms - I've been craving for them for awhile now. Cheers, -ELuna Fri Mar 04 01:14:17 -0800 2005 0 ELuna 1 479964 Here in San Diego there are two stores that might satisfy your desire: Nijiya Market and Mitsuwa Market. I think that both are parts of chains. So you might find them -- and their mushrooms -- elsewhere.

I'm sure you can find them in LA County. Fri Mar 04 17:40:29 -0800 2005 479964 0 daantaat
