I found some oyster mushrooms on a dead popular today. They are different from the ones that flush in the fall but just as good.These are Plueratus populinus

Looks delicious! They are great in many dishes, I like them in Calzone’s, on pizza, in stir fry’s and in omelets. The thing I like about oyster mushrooms is that when you find a tree that has way more than you can use right away, they dry very easily and reconstitute almost as good as when you find them fresh.

It’s great to hear they dry well! I found 20+ trees in the area with a few clusters each, but I was a week too late for most of them. Now that I know where and when to look, next year I won’t be.
I didn’t think I liked oyster mushrooms because the sawdust-grown ones from the store I’ve tried before were always bland and limp or crumbly, but these were amazing—they tasted like very tender calamari. One of my new favourites!
