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....
