Mushroom foragers

[Sue Gremlin]

We picked the morels yesterday from our spot out in the back woods. This is what a tiny, tiny shred of a ridge on a morel looks like under a microscope. I thought it was pretty cool.

It has been drizzling rain here which has LBMs popping up all over the place. These also came up practically overnight.
Brown Oyster mushrooms

The cluster is currently 5" high by 7" wide.

Morel season is mostly done here . I was not looking but found some wood ear and witches butter . Just can not convince myself to try them . That jelly texture put me off .

Idk Ralphie. I think we have the blacks up here.

With all the hot weather and dry winds all of the oyster mushrooms had dried up to nothing. It started raining last night (first precipitation this month) and continued most of today. The oyster mushrooms exploded overnight here. The ones I picked were really waterlogged and took longer than normal to cook but they were delicious.

Hey, mushroomers: I have an abundance of Wine Caps. How do you folks preserve your mushrooms? Saute or blanche/steam and then freeze? Or can you freeze them with no further prep after cleaning them?
