Here's some good eatin' right here

[JGalt]

My wife and I stopped at a garage sale out in the country this morning. When we left, I caught something out of he corner of my eye, in the woods off to the side of the highway. I pulled over, walked across the ditch, and there was a large clump of golden oyster mushrooms growing out of a dead tree. The clump measures 19" high by 9" wide, and weighs 4 pounds. They're currently in a paper bag in the fridge until I clean them.

Not as good as morels, but these are still pretty tasty.

How will you cook them?

Mushrooms are the one thing I absolutely won't harvest wild. I love my liver and don't trust my ability to sort through the nuance of which ones are safe and which ones are death.

Sauteed in butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. They're pretty good.

No, everything goes to black and white.

There aren't any toxic lookalikes for golden oyster mushrooms. There are a couple that that have slight slimilarities, but they won’t harm you if eaten.

Pretty darned good.
