My dear young friend Isabelle from Bordeaux introduced me to the delicious cèpes seen above in Marché Maubert. She took me to a delightful restaurant serving authentic Savoyard fondue with a generous mix of cèpes. November is mushroom season as you can see from the selection above. In addition to the cèpes and girolle, there were coulmelles, trompettes, and pied mouton.
I learn much with every trip and will share the restaurant with you on another post.

I love mushrooms, but I'm always surprised to see how expensive they are..On your pic, I'm also surprised by the very high price of tomatoes!!here , they're around 3 euros/kg..
How would you translate 'pied mouton'?
The 'all-year-around' mushrooms seem very far removed from these lovely specimens. It's a beautiful market scene, Genie.
Oooh, my favourite season for Paris markets. A veritable feast of fungus.
Delicious, Genie.
My mouth is watering!
Ooohhh they all look so divine! I can just imagine the amazing culinary delights one could create with so many different types to chose from! Can't wait to hear about and see photos of the dinner with Isabelle!
great market scene but I am also glad our prices are lower. 8 euro for a kilo of tomatoes sounds ridiculous.
i would love to stand beside you in your kitchen and learn how to prepare these foods.
Miam -- j'adore les champignons!
Isabelle has the inside scoops and now we will too! I can't wait to hear the place.

Yummm! I love all kinds of mushrooms and you never seem to find so many varieties here in N America as you do in the old world. :)
For Julie: Try it in Latin "Hydnum repandum" and in french, it should be pied-de-mouton.
I love them!
Champignons priced like Caviar... but they are worth it! Great photo, Genie. It's early in the morning here in Seattle, but your shot is going to make my cereal look very boring.... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Yum! I love mushrooms! This is such a colorful display. Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Yum! Champignons et Fondue Savoyard!
I too love mushrooms...here there is quite a variety, though not as many kinds as in France, but shitake ones, for example, are about $10-- a kilo, not bad.
Unlike the rest of you, I don't like mushrooms. But I love their names in French—and this photo of them!
I could think of a marvelous omelet with all these ingredients...
How about you share the meal with us in another post...you've made me hungry!
Mmmm I love mushrooms.
Next time, I will have to take you to the yummiest cèpes place: my grand-parents' house in the Landes ! There, cèpes are gathered in the forest by my Papi and delightfully cooked by my Mamie :)
Perhaps chère Isabelle will let me come along as well? How dear of her!

Sure Virginia ! I'm sure my family will be honored to have you, too.
Lovely photo! I'm not much of a mushroom fan but I love the looks of them in your photo along with the other items.

I would love to taste each of them with their earthy flavors. Anyone up for some black truffle risotto? Miam-miam!
I cannot imagine how delightful and delicious Mamie's cepes would be! Merci, Isabelle!
Bises,
Genie
It all looks so wonderful!
How fabulous they look! I'm so keen to go to France in the autumn/winter one time to experience a different range of delights.
Yow, they're not cheap, are they?
What a delicious meal one could make with those lovely fresh ingredients!
