For some it is merely food - albeit an exclusive one - for others it is a coveted collector's item for extended excursions into the woods: the porcini mushroom. Whether its name refers to the firm consistency of its fruiting body or whether the pig was its godfather is only one of the issues that will be investigated here. Further it goes around its symbiotische relationship to partner trees, the "Schwammerlblick", around the role of quality newspapers with the mushroom drying and around prescriptions, which ennoble the taste of the porcini with simple ingredients. A booklet of homage to porcini mushrooms and an invitation to walk through the forest with alert senses.
