Rondayvous Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 The gills on the Mock Oysters were much more vivid than captured by my camera The caps on these late fall oysters were greener than show here, some with lighter caps and with orange tinted gills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprzyw Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ahh, been finding these lately (your last photo) panellus serotinus. Tons of them especially today. Olive Oysterling. Never ate them.... Would like to try them sometime. Mine have been white to cream underneath. Heard you need to dry cook the heck out of them for 12-15 to get all the moisture out of them before adding any butter / oil or anything else. Any one else that has tried these?

Any one else that has tried these? Those in the picture were thrown in with some Oysters and a Green Russula. All I did was chop up some onions, fry them in butter then add these and the other mushrooms. Had them as a snack while watching 60 minutes. I made sure to cook them well, found them to be meaty and very tasty. DIdn't notice any moisture issue. Found mine in what looked like a downed Oak on the edge of a brook.

bprzyw Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Great Rondayvous! I will be out today getting some. I can probably pick 10 pounds, they're everywhere. I did notice the deer eating them though. Glad to hear no moisture issues. Also heard they can be bitter if not cooked good. The ones i have found are on maple and beech trees. These (to me anywho) signify the last of the mushrooms in my area. So sad!!! Well there's always April morel season to look forward to :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Sounds like you found the mother lode. Lucky you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprzyw Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Well... so i thought... Went out today and about 1 pound is all i found. Deer got the better of them. There are tiny ones, so maybe in a day or two i'll check back. They are very dark green, not like the pics i took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I went out today to a different spot and came back with about 3 Lbs of them and another 2 lbs of giant white oysters a little bit further down the trail. Will be cooking some and freezing the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprzyw Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Awesome to hear! Just cooked them up. They taste good. They loose their green color when cooked, that's nice. Edited October 28, 2020 by bprzyw Add pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I boiled then froze my late oysters. Picked too much for my wife and I to eat in one sitting, and they don't keep well. Your skillet looks like a great garnish for a hearty dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprzyw Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hahahaha, might freeze some. They should go well with anything. At least their cooked, and taste yummy. I did see 3 honey's when i was out. Supposed to be getting 1.5" of rain tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yea, the rain brought quite a few mushrooms to life here too. I don't pick honeys unless there are dozens or more, I consider their abundance one of the identifying traits. I did find one perfect blewit (a first) but left it there along with a few slippery jacks. Just not enough there to bother with. There were two other mushrooms I couldn't quiet ID. I put a question out on the ID section of the board. The ones I found under PINE were everywhere, if they are edible, there is a feast everywhere around me in the woods.
