Recent Mushroom Hunt




these are some beautiful Oysters Mushrooms (Pleurotus Ostreatus) from a recent hunt last Sunday. I found about 4 pounds growing out of an abandoned oak trunk in a public park. The picture only shows about 1/4 of the mushrooms They were sticking out of the top, and I had to drive my car in the park so I could stand on it to reach them. Yum. Amazing flavor, as these no long exist.
I broke off a couple of pieces of the wood that these oysters were growing out of to cultivate for new plugs or spawn. Posted by Picasa
