Yes, basil is a good herb, but I rarely use it for mushrooms because
mushrooms, IMHO, need parsley.
BTW next time I want to try your recipe.
A question: in my country, basil grew only in spring -summer because here it
is too cold. How do you do to have it in winter? You have said that you put
it in the greenhouse. I have tried to plant it in a pot inside my kitchen,
but it din't grew.
I don't know why!
