Shrooms to Snack On

A snack that could only come from Kennett Square: mushrooms dried into chips — not fried, the brainchild of Kathi Lafferty, of the Mushroom Cap. If crunchy fungus catches on, who knows? Could mushroom chips go global?

SnackNShrooms, $6.95 at the Mushroom Cap, 114 W. State St., Kennett Square. 610-444-8484.
