Mushroom madness takes over La Morra on Wednesday, July 22nd. Ben Maleson, also known as the Mushroom Man, comes to the Brookline spot with bushels of foraged fungi for a four-course meal. Maleson (who has been supplying restaurants with mushrooms for over 30 years) will team up with apprentice Tyler to bring wild local and imported cultivated mushrooms to La Morra for dishes like grilled mushroom sliders and king oyster spaghetti. Dinner begins at 6:30pm at the Italian eatery and costs $75 per person. Check out the menu below and call 617.739.0007 for more information and to make reservations.
