	The Exotic Wild Leek
		Unfortunately, the leaves of the wild leek wither with approaching summer, and they fall away completely by the time June arrives, leaving only a thin naked stalk which grows as high as twenty inches before a creamy-white globe of blossoms appears at its tip.
		And wild leek leaves can usually be found unblemished by worms and insects, due to their early arrival in the spring, which lends to exceptional culinary use as well as natural beauty.
		Because the wild leek tends to be rather tenacious when attempting to pull it from the ground, a long knife or dandelion digger works best to free it.

		This vegetarian gumbo can be considered "faux" for two reasons: because of the mushrooms that masquerade as seafood (or meat/chicken), and also because of the mucilaginous wild greens that substitute for okra.
		Russ Cohen notes: Some of the wild ingredients we used (Burdock flower stalks, Pokeweed shoots and Milkweed buds) are in season in late spring and early summer, and the mushrooms are not available until the summer or fall, so it's likely that one or the other of them will be previously cooked and frozen.
