   Hygrophorus fuligineus has no widely accepted common name, but "Sooty   
   Hygrophorus" has been mentioned.  Any common name should make mention of   
   its slimy nature, which is readily distinguishing in the field.   
      
   Chestnut stuffing?  No, I haven't tried it but it sounds as if I should.   
     We sometimes boil or roast chestnuts in a Dutch oven atop the   
   woodstove.  I plan to start making sourdough bread, and bake it in the   
   Dutch oven.   
      
   The mushroom stuffing we are still eating has grated turnips in it,   
   giving a wonderful sweet taste.  First rate, really.  Made with stuff   
   harvested in the fall.  The mushrooms are a *perfect* addition; very   
   mild tasting, a compliment to rather than a distraction from the mix.   
      
   We're scheduled to visit my mom and the rest of the family in the city   
   Thursday, Thanksgiving Day proper.  But, I don't want to share the   
   stuffing.  It's *that* good.  Mom leaves for Macau tomorrow.
