  In a food processor, finely chop the mushrooms.  Place in a bowl and
  sprinkle with the lemon juice to prevent the mushrooms from
  discolouring. In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter. When
  butter is melted, saute the shallots and garlic. Add the mushrooms
  and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 3-4 minutes.  Drain the
  mushrooms in a sieve placed over a saucepan. Place the mushrooms in a
  saucepan and cook over high heat until all the excess moisture has
  eveaporated. Combine the cream and egg yolks in small mixing bowl and
  whisk until blended. Whisk this mixture into the mushrooms and let
  cook over high heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to
  cool. Gently open petals of each blossom and dill center of each with
  1/2 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture. Nestel a truffle in the
  center of each blossom and carefully close the petals up around thhe
  truffle and stuffing. Place the zucchini on the wire rack or bamboo
  steamer. Cover with a sheet of aluminium foil.  Place the pan, with
  water over high heat and steam for 15 minutes or until zucchini is
  fork tender. Place the reserved mushroom liquid on top and reduce to
  2 tablespoons liquid. Cut the remaining butter into cubes and whisk
  into the mushroom liquid, until each cube is incorporated. Season
  with salt and pepper. Spread the spinach leaves on the platter. Place
  the zuchini on the spinach and drizzle with the sauce.  Garnish with
  chervil sprigs.
