Mushroom Pie

Peel and cut in quarters some mushrooms, also peel some potatoes; butter a pie-dish, put in a layer of potatoes, then a layer of mushrooms, another of potatoes, and so on until they are all used, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper and butter. Cover the pie with a crust and bake in a moderate oven. Put the trimmings of the mushrooms in a small quantity of gravy and boil for several minutes, then strain the liquid and season with salt and pepper. When the pie is cooked make a small incision in the top and pour in the gravy.
