YES! these are definately the Oysters….edible and delicious! but sooooo pretty it’s hard to eat them. :o) one of my seasonal favorites to find AND eat!!!!

Wow you really eat these? How do you prepare them? Or do you eat them raw? Not that I will though. I am a bit scared to do that. Just in case I get the wrong one….........
Carla Jandelle...
i’ve yet to eat a raw wild mushroom…call me wimpy? lol
i satee mine in butter a little and LOVE them in either a pasta dish with clams/seafood…..or even in a soup with potatoes and beef
i never eat a mushroom i’m not sure of the ID…i’ll be the lucky 1 with the gravestone that says ‘she died because of toxic shrooms’.......

Cheers Esther:)

lol…i ate one of my favorites near the end of the season last year…....called Shaggy Mane…..delicious! that was on a frid….on sund. i made a pasta….on mon? i couldn’t crawl out of bed my stomach had started cramping so bad. by wed. i was sure i was trying to give birth to a blue whale then by thurs. i was ok again.
ends up? i made my pasta with a red wine vinegar sauce…and? ANY kind of alcohol within 5 days of consumption of the Shaggy Mane? will make u sicker then a dog! (read directions before consumption) my dr just laughed at me when i asked if i could keep my innards intact

A beautiful set of mushrooms. Nicely shot. I would never pick mushrooms and take them home and cook them like Carla does. I would have to be with a professor or mushroom guide to ever do that. And I always end up drinking alcohol within 5 days of any meal so forget that. LOL.

Dear , Adam. I am the same. I am happy enough just to find them. ;o)) And hopefully get a nice image. I will eat the ones from the shop LOL I dont have the knowledge and here in Tasmania a lot of species has not been identified…. you never know. Thank you very much for the compliment, take care.
