Remove any soil from the honey mushrooms and the lower part of the stem Cook them for 15 minutes in salted boiling water, skimming the surface often.
Peel the shallot and chop it finely. Sauté the shallot in a pan with the olive oil. When it is transparent add the sliced button and honey mushrooms together with the peeled and diced potatoes.
Cook for a few minutes stirring with a spoon, then cover with the hot vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are soft enough to be mashed.
Purée with an immersion beater together with a knob of butter and the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
If needed, adjust the consistency by adding more hot stock. Ladle into the bowls and garnish with a few honey mushrooms kept aside for garnish and the aromatic herbs.
