Hericium in a hole.
A Hericium mushroom I harvested today. When sauteed in butter and olive oil it tastes remarkably similar to lobster. It’s a choice wild edible.

Impressive!
cool! can’t wait to run into one of these. i harvested a Meadow Mushroom, either Agaricus campestris or A. arvensis, in my yard a couple of days ago and fried it with a scrambled egg and some chopped fresh basil from the garden. i’m not an expert but i can tell those from a deadly Amanita and that’s what matters.
Hey Lanny. Sure nice to have that rain!
Yeah! This nice early rain means a good crop of wild mustard greens, miner’s lettuce and lots of other good stuff. Just keep it coming like that.
