Feel like I've achieved something!

For the first time ever I've eaten mushrooms I harvested and identified my self. We found a small patch of oysters and I recognised them straight away and positively ID'd them- although I did double check. Made myself mushrooms on toast and it was lovely!

Nothing complex but after years of knowing which was which in basic terms I felt great to finally eat them.

Here it is:

Fried in butter and nom nom nom it was tasty!

Great stuff. I could just eat that myself

Well done and I'm glad it was a good tasty meal.

Good food are oyster mushrooms and they'll come again there until they've used up all the goodness of the tree too.
We gathered for four years from one tree not far from here You can often harvest two or three times in the one season as well.
Depends on what it's growing.

Thanks! And that's great news- it'll be nice to get more of them as they were a lovely meal. - tree looked to have a few years left- it wasn't completely gone. Cheers for the info!

Excellent stuff Cam, and it does look very tasty. Think it may be a good year for 'shrooms this year as there's a fair few out already. A mate and I gather and dry a fair few and he's pretty famous for his mushroom tart, will dig out the recipe and put it up for you. It nice hot, but even better the next day, cold in yer lunchbox out on the hill.
Good luck with future forages,
C.
