An overgrown oyster growing from a dying hickory
We harvested this oyster (Panus Strigosus?) in awe, then ate it with friends fried in butter– the mushroom, not the friends.
We are finding more edible mushrooms every week. Last night it was velvet foot and a new variety–a rooted, lithe, tall and chewy one (oudemansiella radicata). We invite foragers, but urge caution.
Inky caps, crown-tipped corals, and a jelly edible I didn't have the guts to eat.
