But back in my destitute graduate school days, it was a different story; free, wild mushrooms were a welcomed treat. Of course feeling comfortable with the IDs was helped by the fact that I was studying mycology in school. :-)Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-11711241442212121832012-02-12T10:09:41.244-06:002012-02-12T10:09:41.244-06:00Those sunspots looked exactly like your photos in ...Those sunspots looked exactly like your photos in your blog. <br /><br />I dried a small handfull of the wood ear, but didn't pick any of the oyster.

But I have to say I would never pick a wild mushroom to eat.......I'm just too much of a coward.Stuart Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103599639814558640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-43005794632765134362012-02-12T03:37:26.323-06:002012-02-12T03:37:26.323-06:00Wilma,
