Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 210 F/100 C. To make the meringue, place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a metal bowl to use an electric mixer. Add powdered (icing) sugar and combine. Put the bowl over the bain-marie and beat egg whites with a hand whisk until foamy. When the mixture is hot, remove the bowl from the heat and beat, using a stand or an electric mixer, until the meringue is cooled completely. Once it is ready, use the meringue immediately.
- Place the meringue in a pastry bag fitted with a round tip 1/2" (12 mm). Pipe 4 meringue dots in the corners of a baking sheet and place parchment paper. It will fix the paper during pipping and baking.
- To pipe the meringue stems, hold the pastry bag perpendicular to the baking sheet. Start piping gently, forming a stem's base, then lift the bag while squeezing. Make sure to make the pointed end by pulling up the bag.
- For the mushroom caps, keep holding the piping bag perpendicular to the baking sheet and smoothly squeeze the bag. Push the meringue into a plain round shape. Once the perfect shape is obtained, stop squeezing and slowly remove the bag off to the side to avoid creating a peak on top. If needed, use a lightly moistened finger to flatten the spike of the meringue dome.
- The size of mushroom caps and the height of stems may vary: while the caps may average to 1 to 2 inch (2.5 cm to 5 cm) rounds and about 1 inch/2.5 cm high, the stems may get about 1 inch/2.5 cm high. Caps and stems should be placed 1 inch/2.5 cm apart. Sprinkle mushroom caps with cocoa powder.
- Bake caps and stems for 1 hour. Once the meringue is ready, let it cool and detach from parchment paper. Make a hole on the bottom of each cap with the tip of a knife. Fill the hole and the top of stems with a little dark chocolate melted in a microwave. Insert the stems into the hole under the caps. Place the mushrooms upside down and refrigerate to allow the chocolate to set.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Butter and flour a baking sheet.
- In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny like satin, stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip.
- Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 3 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed until soft peaks form. Start adding the sugar slowly. Beat until glossy stiff peaks form.
- Place the meringue in a piping bag or large zip-lock bag and push the mixture toward one corner, folding the other corner over, then twisting, allowing you to control the meringue. Cut off just the very tip of the exposed corner so the meringue can exit the bag. Then try it out by dotting four small beads of meringue at the corners of a cookie sheet. Set a sheet of parchment paper over the top; the meringue beads will provide a bond to hold the paper in place.
- Make the mushroom caps by holding the bag over the parchment paper and push until a 1-inch mound of meringue forms. Wet the tip of your finger with water and gently round off any peaks to make a smooth surface.
- For mushroom stems, form peaks on smaller mounds of meringue by pulling the bag up and away from the surface as you push.
- Bake them in a 200° oven for an hour, and then turn oven temperature down to 175 and leave them until they're completely dry to the touch.
- Optional:.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a glass microwave-safe dish in the microwave for about one minute or until melted. Once cool, you can coat the bottom of the mushroom caps with dark chocolate, let them set, and then coat them again with white chocolate. Once the white chocolate is set, you can scratch in the mushroom gills using a toothpick, and attach the stem using a little more white chocolate.
- Or, if not coating the bottom of the mushroom caps, make a hole smaller than a pea in the bottom of a mushroom cap with a toothpick or skewer. Dip the tip of the stem in the melted chocolate and press into the hole in the cap. Allow the chocolate "glue" to harden (it only takes a minute). Place the mushroom upright on its stem and dust the cap lightly with cocoa powder.

MERINGUE MUSHROOMS
These take a bit of work and time, but are spectacular. They are highly prized for Christmas gift-giving! As with other meringue recipes, these should only be made on a dry day. You will need a pastry bag with a plain tip. If you can save some green plastic berry baskets from the summertime, these mushrooms look totally realistic placed in them.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- In a large glass or metal bowl, use an electric mixer to whip egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla. Continue whipping until the whites hold soft peaks. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar so that it does not sink to the bottom, and continue whipping until the mixture holds stiff shiny peaks.
- Place a round tip into a pastry bag, and fill the bag half way with the meringue. To pipe the mushroom caps, squeeze out round mounds of meringue onto one of the prepared cookie sheets. Pull the bag off to the side to avoid making peaks on the top. For the stems, press out a tiny bit of meringue onto the other sheet, then pull the bag straight up. They should resemble candy kisses. Do not worry about making all of the pieces exactly the same. The mushrooms will look more natural if the pieces are different sizes. Dust the mushroom caps lightly with cocoa using a small sifter or strainer.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the caps are dry enough to easily remove from the cookie sheets. Set aside to cool completely. Melt the coating chocolate in a metal bowl over simmering water, or in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Poke a small hole in the bottom of a mushroom cap. Spread chocolate over the bottom of the cap. Dip the tip of a stem in chocolate, and press lightly into the hole. When the chocolate sets, they will hold together. Repeat with remaining pieces. Store at room temperature in a dry place or tin.

MERINGUE MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Combine egg whites with cream of tartar in bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in sugar, beating at high speed until mixture is very stiff and dull looking.
- Scrape meringue mixture into pastry bag. Pipe round, button shapes to make mushroom "caps". Pipe pointed "kiss" shapes about one inch tall to make "stems". Dust with cocoa. Bake two hours in 200 degree oven until crisp and completely dry. Assemble the mushrooms: Place chocolate in a small bowl. Set bowl in a skillet of barely simmering water. Immediately turn off heat and stir chocolate until melted and smooth. Spread a little melted chocolate on the flat side of each meringue mushroom "cap". Use a sharp knife to cut off and discard the pointed ends of meringue "stems". Attach stems to caps while chocolate is still soft. Set assembled mushrooms aside until the chocolate has dried and caps and stems are "glued" together. Meringue mushrooms may be made 3-4 weeks in advance and stored in an airtight container.

- Preheat oven to 200°. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites and salt in a medium bowl until foamy. With motor running, gradually add granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vinegar and beat until meringue is very dense (peaks should still be stiff and glossy).
- Transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip and pipe 1"-long cones (these will be the mushroom stems) and quarter-size circles (the mushroom caps) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dust mushroom tops with cocoa powder with a fine-mesh sieve and bake, rotating once, until meringues are dry, 1 ½−2 hours.
- Using a small paring knife, make a small hole in center of flat side of mushroom tops. Workin one at a time, spread a dab of chocolate on flat side of a mushroom top with a offset spatula and fit smaller end of meringue stem into hole, pressing to adhere. Let chocolate harden.
- Do ahead: Mushrooms can be made 3 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
