1/4   pound         cremini

                    and cut in halves

1/2   medium        red onion
1     tablespoon    crushed red chili flakes
4                   scallions, green and white
2                   garlic cloves
4                   canned plum tomatoes
1     cup           Basic Tomato Sauce
1     cup           dry white wine
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper
4     slices        Italian peasant bread, 1" thick
1     cup           Green Olive Pesto

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

To make the pesto: In a food processor, combine the olives, onion, pine nuts, and garlic, and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until it forms a thick, smooth paste. Allow to stand 1/2 hour before using.
In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, place the chanterelles, crimini, oyster, and yellow foot mushrooms, the red onion, chili flakes, scallions, garlic, tomatoes, and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Add wine after 8 minutes of cooking. Lower the heat so that the mixture simmers, partially covered, for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat the grill or broiler.
After simmering, the mushroom mixture should be thick, like a ragu. Season the hodgepodge, to taste, with salt and pepper, and pour into a large, shallow serving bowl.
Toast the bread and smear with the green olive pesto. Stand the crostini at fun angles in middle of mushroom hodge-podge and serve immediately in center of table. Serve on top of grilled bread.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
