Mushrooms!!

[Jafo]

I have trained my boys to keep a sharp lookout for mushrooms. Today when we were driving into camp, my son says "Hey, what kind of mushrooms are those?"

He was pointing to these oyster mushrooms about 75-100 feet into the woods. I stopped the truck and we all walked out there and sure enough there was an old dead maple tree just covered with them. My sons went back later with a ladder and picked about 7-8 pounds of them.

We fried up a bunch in a cast iron skillet tonight and had them with dinner. OMG, what a score! Anyway, here is a pic of them!


Guess we will have to take a hike out in the woods to find some more tomorrow too!

Ya got my mouth watering love those dang things but don't know how to tell the good from the bad.

I have found two more flushes of them now since that first harvest. If it happens again, I am going to take a pic. Just ate some tonight with dinner!
