A Great Year For Wild, Edible Oyster Mushrooms

I just wanted to give a heads up that this is the best oyster mushroom (Pleurotus pulminarius) year that I have ever seen.  I have a snag and two downed alders that are producing like never before.  A few weeks ago, I harvested enough to plug my dryer.  Since then, I have let two friends pick shopping bag quantities.  Tonight I went out and filled my mushroom basket with very fine looking oyster mushrooms.  This time, I filled my dryer (eight large racks), had a bunch for dinner, and still could not see the bottom of my basket.  We are talking serious poundage here.  The mushrooms I had for dinner were superb.

The really amazing part is that I am leaving the smaller ones on the trees and in three days or a week, I will probably fill the basket again.  I have never seen quantity and quality like this before.

If you are still into wild mushrooms, it would be worth your while to have a look around and score big time on this year's oysters.

Peace from Peace Lane,
Chuck

Hope, love and peace will bring prosperity.
