Equipment
- Large skillet

- 8 ounces mixed wild mushrooms, cleaned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 4 ounces brie, sliced
- 4 ounces aged cheddar, cubed
- 6 ounces salami slices
- 1 baguette, sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- A few thyme sprigs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the wild mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then add the thyme sprigs and cook for one more minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes.

- Scatter the blackberries and dried cherries around the mushrooms.
- Arrange the brie slices, cheddar cubes, and salami slices in separate sections on the board.

Notes
Cook the mushrooms just before serving so they stay warm against the cool cheeses and fruit. If you make them ahead, reheat gently in the skillet for two minutes to restore texture. Use a sturdy board that can handle the weight of the bread and meats without tipping.
