A Year in the Forest

As I took my daily walk through the woods today, or should I say my daily mushroom walk, I encountered two good edible mushrooms.  The log from which I harvested the oyster mushrooms earlier has sprouted them again – yum, yum there will be some good eating this week.  I also found a big stump sprouting Sulphur Shelf Mushrooms.  I harvested the Sulphur Shelf mushrooms because the deer like them and often get them before I can.    For the evening meal we had steaks grilled on charcoal and Sulphur Shelf mushrooms sauteed in butter.  I was not expecting to find mushrooms since is it still dry and mushrooms are mostly water.  Oh well, finding them and eating them is too often a harvest of chance.  If you get there the right day, you get em.  The wildlife might get them the next day.  I was hoping ot get some paw-paws but they are not ripe yet.

It is a little cooler today – I am looking forward to cool weather so I can do some real work on the trails.
