I know it has been a while since I posted. I have no idea what I have been doing to prevent me from blogging. Apparently, I have been out of the habit. No matter. Here I am and with new pictures, too.
Okay, I admit it, this is the same old subject matter- mushrooms.
Oyster mushrooms, specifically. They have been so abundant lately that I can't look out a window or
walk to the car without seeing some.
I think the babies are particularly photogenic.
These were absolutely teeny-tiny.
I really like the ones that grow on the bottom of logs, too.
Do you know what I don't like about oyster mushrooms?
The taste.
I really, really want to like them, but I don't.
Maybe I am just cooking them wrong. I'll try them again soon, but as beautiful and easy to identify and abundant as they are, I SHOULD love them, but I don't.
Does anyone have any cooking tips for oyster mushrooms?
As I have said before, don't eat any mushroom you are even slightly unsure of.
Safety first, people.
Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving (or good Thursday for those outside the U.S.).

Fabulous fungus shots Susan! One of my favourite subjects to photograph. I fry them on high heat in a little clarified butter, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. I like them a bit crispy.
ReplyDeleteLove your funky fungi!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome you find different kind of fungi. And it is all very beautiful and I guess they are not edible right?

Wonderful shots of these mushrooms. I like the teeny tiny one's too (so cute) and I like the shot of the ones under the log. I've never eaten these before so I have no clue how to fix them.
ReplyDeleteWonderful details of the fungi.
ReplyDeleteHappy Macro Monday!
