1.   And so I am starting with a smooth, satiny, very delicate puree of soft, unassertive cultivated exotic mushrooms.

2.   Not so long ago, nearly all cultivated mushrooms grew in dark, moist sheds.

3.   The dish was no longer coq au vin, which is usually made with cultivated white mushrooms, but it was a succulent triumph.

4.   For many who have written in for wild mushroom soup, use wild mushrooms instead of cultivated mushrooms for that special flavour.
