We will blanch boil and freeze these for future use.
We will use water for soups and distribute some excess spore water onto other dead elm trees near us for harvest in the future.

Lucky you! oysters are the best :)
Although my favorite is chicken of the woods or maybe morals ;D

Great score
Thanks Leroy

We dehydrated a bunch of them too.

I’ve never found a mushroom that I could eat before... but trust me I’ve tried... one day I’ll find one and then I’ll realize they are everywhere ;D ;D
Nice haul

Yes be sure of what your eating.
-
I like mushrooms, too
Next weekend I will harvest the chicken of the woods on our old plumtree.
I think I'll fry it and serve with some fresh asparagus....
I also like the oyster mushrooms, the giant puffballs and especially the Craterellus cornucopioides.

So, here are the cut-up sulfur porcini in the muurica pan on the rocket stove. First just the forest chicken, then with green asparagus and finally on the plate with homemade ciabatta and a yogurt poppy seed sauce.

That would look even better with a medium rare ribeye or t-bone -C- -C-! Making me hungry!

Yowzers that's a lot of oysters! The two big jars full of the dried shrooms makes me green with envy.
The great mushroom identification tome is Mushrooms Demystified by David Arora. He's based on the west coast but the information can be applied anywhere. There are also regional mushroom guides available for your specific part of the county. But unless you're walking around with an expert, a good book (or preferably 3) are the only safeguards you have between a delicious meal and a terrible, agonizing death..
Be careful out there! And if you're ever not sure about a mushroom, PM me and I might be able to help :)

Yes I generally just eat mushrooms that grow on trees like these or chicken of the woods.I also know what morels look like and eat them too.All in my area.
Usually the ones that grow on trees will come back year after year on the same tree.These were on an old dead standing elm.
