porcinis
Italian forest fungi
Porcinis are prized edible mushrooms with thick stems and brown caps, known for their rich, earthy flavor.
The singular is porcino, though English speakers often use porcini for both.
They appear fresh in fall markets and dried year-round, essential to Italian cuisine: risotto with porcinis, porcini pasta sauce.
