"The Mushroom Hunters" - Langdon Cook Interviewed By Diane Rehm

"Mushroom Hunters" author Langdon Cook forages matsi mushrooms. (Langdon Cook)

The "king," the "trumpet," "the hedgehog." These are all names given to wild mushrooms by those who forage for them. It’s a world that author and mushroom forager Langdon Cook knows well. In his new book “Mushroom Hunters: On the Trail of an Underground America," we are introduced to the subculture of mushroom pickers and buyers who are responsible for finding the wild mushrooms that end up on our plates. Langdon Cook joins guest host Tom Gjelten in studio for the hour.
