Yummy Mushrooms!

Thank you to my dad and Gail for the gift that continues giving.

Here was a nice flush of tree oysters from back in November.  These were probably sauteed with onions and eaten in tacos.

 And here is one of the two big lion's mane mushrooms that have grown so far.  There were a number of smaller ones that didn't grow to this size, but I'm not sure why... Perhaps the more extreme cold of winter restricted the mushroom's fruiting?  Anywho, we freestyled this recipe together and found it quite heartily delicious!  Basically, we sauteed: onions, cubed mushroom pieces, celery, apple, walnuts and thyme and served over rice.  Shown here with a side of beet salad, mmmmm........
