Classic Mushroom Cream Sauce
This dish got us and thousands of our customers hooked on wild mushrooms. Any variation on cream sauce will do nicely to showcase the mushrooms. Just keep the seasoning simple and don’t rush the cook time. The slower and lazier the mushrooms cook the more mushroom goodness you will enjoy.

- Cover your pasta, chicken, halibut or what have you with the sauce. Give thanks and savour.
I purchased these after seeing a recipe using them in a sauce. I had never heard of these but wow cooked them recently and the sauce was the best. Not only a great presentation over the Iron Flat Steak but added super flavor. Fortunately I always order two I still have another bag before running out. I love mushroom sauces and I think sauces make or break the meal. These were great!! I have to order more before using up the other package!! Thank you for being there.
