The Oyster Mushroom, Pleurotus ostriatus, is beginning to fruit in earnest. We picked a couple clumps on aspen snags this morning. The caps came with a compliment of Pleasing Fungus Beetles which will need to be turned out by a brief immersion in water before preparing these delicious fungi for the table. As always, the anise-like odor of these mushrooms was potent and pleasant. The air of the surrounding woods was lightly touched with that scent.
