Oyster Mushrooms.

I found these tasty fellows while walking up the mountain yesterday. These are one of the easiest edible mushrooms to identify. They are bright white, attached by a thin leg to a log, where they grow in large groups. They are firm fleshed, and have a rich mushroom aroma.

Awesome! Yes, I've managed to resist my urge to comment until now -- on the post about oyster mushrooms of all things. At my cabin this summer I tried fairy-ring mushrooms. Even though my grandmother was "almost certain" they weren't poisonous, I waited until she'd eaten one to try them. They had a nice, mild flavor. Puffballs are still my favorite wild mushroom, and the only one I feel completely confident identifying.
