Mushroom mania — and not the psychedelic kind — is coming to Somerville as a local forager opens a new shop devoted to mushrooms:
It seems mushrooms are having a moment, and not just on restaurant menus. You can see their enchanting shapes on tote bags, greeting cards, earrings, and tattooed on people's arms. They're also the stars of countless Instagram posts. Now mushroom mania — and not the psychedelic kind — is coming to Somerville as a local forager opens a new shop devoted to mushrooms.
“If you give a man a mushroom, he eats for a day,” Akabane said. “If you teach your man how to pick mushrooms, he'll eat for a lifetime.”in Somerville. The Winter Hill store's quirky decor and white tin ceiling give it a mom-and-pop vibe. Shelves are lined with mushroom-friendly condiments like soy sauce, vinegar and spices. Seasonal veggies like asparagus are also for sale. But the homey space's centerpiece is a big refrigerated case like you'd see in a butcher shop.
He recalled how in February 2020 a huge shipment of mushrooms arrived from Oregon. Then, everything shut down, and, “moments later, all the restaurants are closed.” The shop's newest employee, Madeline Dede-Panken, also happens to be working on a dissertation for her doctorate that traces the history of mycophilia. The“At the turn of the 20th century, much like today, there was this real upswell of interest in eating mushrooms that came from an interest in nature and going back to the land, which we see today in sustainability concerns," Dede-Panken said."There's also a real interest in shopping locally and being part of a community.
