My wife/mycological associate @nataliahubisz found these winter oyster mushrooms,  Pleurotus ostreatus on our first hike of 2020. They had a rich glistening brown top, darker than their summer variety, the pale Pleurotus pulmonarius.  Pleurotus species are saprobic, meaning that they live on dead or dying wood and feed till it rots. Oysters are one of our favorite mushrooms as they are versatile in the kitchen and good mixed in a pasta sauce or scrambled eggs or as oven baked fries or simply cooked in butter and put on a toastie. #mushroomhunter #bushcraft #forage #forestgroceries #rewild #natureclass #huntergatherer #huntoeat #natureintoaction
