funciu d'anici

[Sicilian]

A name in the Etna region of Sicily for the aniseed funnel cap. This mushroom has a distincive pale blue colour of young specimens soon fading towards light grey. A couple of these will impart an almost liquorice flavour to a dish. Certainly not many are required but is a food addition to soups and stews.
