i think the Shiitake Mushroom is a rather beautiful creature... majestic even...
well i'm just impressed because it actually grew, i didn't kill it with kindness by overwatering....
the Oyster Mushroom not so graceful.. a clump of tasty goodness tho....
so all of a sudden i had a massive amount of fungal food and what to do with it... i made a stirfry and still had tons left over....
i love my dehydrater... almost as much as my pressure canner...
it's old and very well loved and has made copious quantities of fruit leathers, dried tomatoes, peppers, plums, raisins, jerky ... whatever was available to be dried.... i even tried potatoes but that wasn't such a great experiment... onions were the worst i must say... had to set up a place on the deck... the onion scented 'eu d cologne' wasn't exactly delightful... long lasting tho ;)
at the moment my house smells like a simmering pot of mushroom soup.... not so bad huh!!!
i can't wait to toss in bits of dried mushroom in my next pot of soup....

The mushrooms ARE beautiful! So .. are those bags just continually putting out goodies .. or what? What a great find/buy. Shiitake mushrooms are my favorite for flavor .. but then I haven't tried the others.
What a great idea, I have morels I dry on a string.
Mrs. Mac the fellow i got the mushroom blocks from said that the blocks were good for 2 go-rounds... so i don't really know how many i will get from them... will post again when and if i get another 'crop' ...
ohh what a good idea Out on the prairie
Your mushroom endeavours are pretty incredible...I have got to try doing this sometime.
Mr. H i have to thank the guy who made the blocks... but i think that i might try really growing them, from scratch... it's been a fun experiment...
Stunning! I LOVE mushrooms! Fat, juicy mushrooms are amazing breaded and fried. I like using whole wheat flour with whatever seasoning sounds good to you, fry in some coconut oil and dip in ponzu sauce or eat by themselves. Pure heaven!!! I really need to grow me some mushrooms. My friend just took a few logs from the tree we had to cut down after it fell in the road on Sunday during the storm. Anyway, my friend took a few logs to grow her mushrooms in. I can't wait to see how her's turn out.
