For those who are recent arrivals to this list, these recipes can be 
found in this file in the FOOD-VEGETABLES section of the Florilegium:

Similar questions have come up before about mushrooms. There is a small 
bit of this kind of info in this file, but since many mushroom names 
are likely to be a local or regional thing, we may never know most of 
them. I don't know for instance, whether anyone has identified the ones 
in the Goodman of Paris, which talks about mushrooms one day old and 
red inside, or something like that. At that recipe is much better 
known.

Argh. Microsoft strikes again. Although it seems to read better copied 
into this email message than it did in Word.
Just in case others are having this problem, I *think* that is supposed 
to be "1/2 t Fresh Ground Black Pepper" and "1/2 C Mushroom Soaking 
liquid".
