In a Q&A in HTSI magazine famous New York chef Sophia Roe enthused about fungi.
"There isn't one artist whose work I collect, instead I just collect mushrooms. It would be an endless collection because new mushrooms are discovered all the time. My favourite species is tremella fuciformis - also called Snow fungus - which is common in Asia. It holds up to 500 times its weight water, and has more collagen than any other fungus in nature. “In another life I would have been a musician or a mycologist. There's an obsessive quality to food, music and mycology that makes a nice through line: you do those things because you have a passion for them."
