Mushrooms In Pennsylvania

Join Capri as she visits Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, the self- proclaimed "mushroom capital of the world".

Meet commercial mushroom producers who have been growing the beloved fungi for generations, go into the surrounding wilderness to forge for morels and learn how the locals prepare mushrooms in a variety of ways...including in ice cream.
