Store in the refrigerator. For the ice cream, bring the milk, cream and mushroom puree to a boil. Beat the yolks with the sugar, pour the warm mixture on top, let it cool, pass through a sieve and turbine. Peel the pears and cut into quarters.

Heat the wine with the sugar and put the pear quarters in it. Cover with a sheet of waxed paper and allow to simmer slowly on the fire.
