OYSTER MUSHROOMS

Oyster Mushrooms(Pleurotus ostreatus) growing on a Cottonwood stump. These were the first wild mushrooms that I made a meal of when I was 16 years old. Very tasty, have a fragrant fruity flavor and a good texture. Young ones are best because older ones, like these, are often riddled with Mushroom Maggots( not a true maggot, larvae of fungus gnats).
