Wild Mushrooms

Wild MushroomsPicture of wild mushrooms in Yorkshire.

Had someone asked me I would have said that it was perhaps a little early for wild mushrooms here in Yorkshire and I would have been wrong.

By chance today I was chatting to a friend when someone he knew came up and asked if he would like some more wild mushrooms. He then produced some Chicken of the Woods which he gave to my friend and he was then kind and offered me some oyster mushrooms.

You can see some of the oyster mushrooms that I was given in the above photograph. I put a few onto a plate just for effect.

  1. Your photo's nicely done, Paul. I've never heard the phrase, "chicken of the woods." Made me laugh! I suppose you've had enough moisture this spring for early mushrooms, haven't you?

  2. Great detail, they look very healthy. Probably because of a well balanced diet of 10% sunshine and 90% rainfall?!

  3. Delicious. How did you cook them? I'm rahter partial to them in an omelete

  4. I suppose all the rain is helping mushrooms grow. I think I've seen chicken of the woods only once at the farmers' market; love oyster mushrooms and your shot of them. I love them in soups, but it's a bit warm for that now.
