Oysters mushrooms?

[axisgear]

I was wondering if anyone else here collects these delectable morsels. I favor them over most[can't beat a chanterelle;)] other wild edible shrooms,but have yet to find any this year. I have found enough morels to make me sick so I'm all done with them.

Has anyone else found any oysters this spring?

Yes, I found some this past weekend up near Manistee by accident while looking for firewood. I wasn't even looking and there was a couple oysters right on a tree. It was my first time eating them yesterday and must I say. They are quite tasty!!:corkysm55 I'll be looking for those as well. Do you know how long they stay in the spring?:) Here's a pic of a couple. There wasn't many on that tree, but it was something.

They sprout as long as conditions are favorable.The only problem is getting to them before the beetles eat them up. I have found them as late as September while small game hunting,but the spring oysters are best,IMO.

Cool thanks. Looks like I'll be looking for them quite a bit!! My wife liked it as well. I still think it's hilarious that she absolutely hated shrooms until she ate the wild ones. She has no problem eating morels, hens, or oysters now. I wonder how many more she'll like before I find one she hates:lol::lol:

I'll be sure to look up. Also, I plan on looking for black trumpets, and chanterelles with my wife as well this year. She's going to eat them all isn't she?:yikes::lol::lol: I hear they are good, but I've never had them. We did oddly find a very good black trumpet spot by accident up north though. For some reason they never rotted. Just dried and left a nice clue to where they grow. Right where they still were. Near a bunch of mossy beech trees.:D
