On the way home from the beach a couple of days ago, I spotted these beauties on a tree on the side of the highway.

So of course I hit the brakes and waded across a tick ridden, quasi-swamp ditch to fill my hat with the most fragrant, wonderful oyster mushrooms ever! I cooked them up with some butter, olive oil, salt, pepper and the smallest dash of garlic. Served them with seared venison cutlets from our property, and we had a true local harvest feast. Even the salad was from our CSA

. I LOVE WILD MUSHROOMS!!!

*of course, don't eat anything you are not able to identify with certainty...

You must definitely know your mushrooms. I would probably be dead if I tried to pick out a mushroom in the wild to eat!

that's great we went on a little foray yesterday. we managed to find some nice chantrelles and also found some oyster mushrooms as well. One that i was looking for was some boletes but only found and old decaying one. Congratulations on your find.

Wow. One of my long term goals is to learn enough to forage for mushrooms and eat them without keeling over.

Those are so awesome!
 
That's a big one!!!!

Very nice, very nice! My hubby would have stopped for it to. he collects the big ones.

My hubby just brought a big stinky one in the house today from our yard. It's so, so stinky that he decided to take it back outside.

is that chicken of the woods?

I really really want to take up Mycology, but it's not something you can make a mistake at. ><
 
Wow!

I wish I knew enough about them to be able to harvest them with certainty. I'd be so scared because so many look alike...
