How Good Can it Get Mushroom Hunting Today Fishing Tomorrow

Oyster Mushroom 

A beautiful day here in Upper Michigan. It is starting to dry out , so we do need some rain. I was out of town last week and we had a couple days of rain. Right after the rain would have been a great time to go foraging for Oyster mushrooms. Although a little late I decided to go take a look today and see what I could find. I was able to find enough Oyster Mushrooms that weren’t dried out to take home. I will be posting the recipe we used on this collection of mushrooms in the recipe catagory . If you are not familiar with the oyster mushroom I have included the link from a previous post. Wild mushrooms-Hunting the Oyster mushroom
I also came across a mushroom called Platterful. This mushroom is edible but has absolutely no taste. They are very plentiful here in the spring and early summer. But are of no use.

I’ve always admired shroom hunters for their tenacity to forage the darkest woods searching for something I’m admittedly completely ignorant about.

God knows, the first thing I’d place in my mouth from the forest floor would probably kill me!

That oyster mushroom looks like a spore from Mars.
