Hunt for Hen of the Woods with Pierogi Goddess

Iliana Regan, aka the Pierogi Goddess, is adding a new line to her ever-evolving food business, One Sister Inc.: mushroom expeditions.

On Oct. 16, Regan will take a bus full of guests to her secret mushroom treasure troves to forage for hen of the woods, a type of mushroom available in the fall. Guests will have breakfast at Regan's home in Andersonville, then board the bus to travel to her first hidden location. After a morning of foraging, she'll serve lunch in a garden to fortify everyone for the afternoon hunt, which promises to be fruitful: Last year, she found a 15-pound hen of the woods mushroom in the same spot.

Check out the menu for the day at One Sister's web site. The entire day's adventure costs $100, and the time to register is now. To do so, e-mail Regan at onesisterinc@gmail.com.
