I picked all the oyster mushrooms off the two trees that I could easily reach from the ground, and without falling down the embankment. More than we can eat fresh, so will saute and freeze the excess.
More rain yesterday, another .70 inches. This morning I expectantly went to the area off the driveway where I got the previous haul of chanterelles and there is nothing! Not even the manky ones I didn't pick. My go-to villain for anything eaten are deer. Anyone know if deer eat mushrooms. No matter, I'll blame them anyhow.
Off to clean and saute mushrooms.
They'll eat boletus. One of my best B.edulis finds was from startling deer who were busy eating their body weight in fruiting bodies.
