Mushrooms-I like them on Pizza

Did you hear about the Mushroom that couldn't get a date-even though he was a Fungi?

Mushrooms have always been a foodie favorite. These fungi are interesting not only for their taste and texture but for the fact that eating the wrong mushrooms can kill you. Of course, most foodies are not eating random mushrooms we find growing along the side of the road. But it is possible to go out and hunt for mushrooms. Morels are a favorite of mushroom hunters and have had a starring role in the Travel Channel's Cash and Treasure show. As with all these shows it looks a lot easier than it really is-but there are mushrooms out there.

The Mushroom Council has all kinds of advice about mushrooms. But really, outside of the occasional salad the only time I do any serious mushroom eating is when they are on a mushroom pizza. So why not make a mushroom pizza of your own? It's easy to use a pre-made pizza crust- of course, a real foodie will make their own crust, won't they?

Best Mushroom Pizza-a simple mushroom pizza that can be altered to suit any taste.

INGREDIENTS
1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust-or make your own
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 cup fresh spinach, rinsed and dried
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pizza crust on baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and sesame oil. Brush onto pre-baked pizza crust, covering entire surface. Stack the spinach leaves, then cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips; scatter evenly over crust. Cover pizza with shredded mozzarella, and top with sliced mushrooms.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are crisp.
