The paste is what's left behind after the mushrooms go way past their "eat by" date.
Lol….normally I see chicken of the woods dry out was curious about trying some on a huge oak that’s died. Do you make a paste?

Exactly! My first squirrel was roasted in the oven, whole with only salt and pepper. Stews while good cover too much up.

We've been pickling (after cutting into long strips) Elm Oysters the last few years and really enjoy them around the fire with a beer. Been a big hit on Saturday nights.
Got a recipe? Sounds good

The wife said she boils them for around 5 minutes or so until they are tender and then cuts them into strips.
After that she simply said to follow the recipe for pickled okra in The Ball Blue Book of Canning with the mushrooms substituted for the okra.

Found a fella selling some wild mushrooms in Indy today. Super nice fella. Never bought mushrooms by the gram, but who am I to tell a man how to run his business.
Anywho, recipes are greatly appreciated!!

Cow crap is an inferior substrate! At least for indoor. So I’ve heard. Allegedly.
On another note found a few of these on the job today
Man, that's incredible, what a find. A little bit of garlic butter and you've got yourself quite a treat
That one has alluded me, I’ve found about everything else but morels are my nemesis. What kind of area did you find it in? What trees?

These are the first ones I’ve ever found and I stumbled upon them. We were surveying around an abandoned house and they were all within 20’ of an elm tree. There were elms all over the property but I only found some on the shadiest side where the ground stayed really damp even when it was 70 and sunny. Some were close to the base of the tree and others weren’t. I even went back after work and found one more in the same area but hoping tomorrow I’ll find another pocket of them

Found 2 more in the same area. My coworker said he’s gonna design a morel camo pattern…cuz dang things are hard to find in leaf litter, downed trees and pine needles . @Scrub I forgot to add there’s several evergreen species where I found them too

Found a good amount of oysters up on the mountain in Kentucky. Thanks to @Helium and @Scrub helping me confirm/ID. They don’t look too pleasant in the bag, as I had to fight a colony of fire ants and centipedes to get em off the logs. This was one of the better pics before harvesting but I ended up with bout 2lbs total

Here ya go @Scrub . Todays haul from Kentucky. Ended up barely fitting in a grocery bag . The log pic doesn’t do them justice. Most were bigger than my hand
