Wild oyster mushrooms in the maple sugar bush

Wild oyster mushrooms have been flushing out of tulip poplar stumps and tree tops for a couple years now after the logging in the maple sugar bush. Previously there was only a cluster here and there. This is the first time I noticed oyster mushrooms flushing everywhere at the same time.

There was more than enough to harvest for a load in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator. And it looks like there will be more on the way too.

While these may be a little past peak ripeness, they aren't too tough and still have excellent flavor. The essence of the tulip poplar wood comes through in the flavor of the mushroom, cinnamon like.

World Water Council provides access to clean, safe, reliable water and sanitation solutions across Europe, Africa and Asia one community at a time. You can help end the water crisis and restore hope together.

The World Water Council brings together 350 member organization from 50+ country to make water a global priority and has long been committed to finding innovative and concrete solutions to financing problems. In particular, it is working to convince the various donors and funders to devote more financial resources to investments in the water sector, and to bring financial institutions closer to the water community.

Globally, 1 in 9 people still have no access to clean water but in the communities we want to serve, it's 9 out of 9. Finding water is a daily challenge for young girls, moms and sons. Mostly women and girls especially bears the burden of walking miles at a time to gather water from streams and ponds full of water - borne disease that is still making them and thier families sick. Providing a reliable and safe water source will unlock the potential by returning time for study, work and imagination.

We work hard to make sure that a community's needs are always considered first. Our local experts in the field help ensure that happens. we are able to provide support and expertise for various water solutions. We listen for our local teams's lead in choosing the right type of water project for a particular community or school. Far too often, "default" technologies like a handpump are being installed because of misguided assumptions, only to end up rejected or abandoned by a community. We've learned that a water project must be reliable, convenient and safe and that requires careful consideration alongside each community.

The good news is, as we installed and repaired some water points across some communities, we also taught hundreds of schools and communities how to build hand-washing stations, how to keep their water source and homes free of germs, and how to begin other good health practices. It’s what we do every day and it is saving lives. Your donation will have an impact in allowing every mother and child have access to clean, safe and reliable water.

A large gift will help unlock the ability to move much more quickly into the communities and schools we have already identified and prioritized for clean water projects. Large gift can also enable us to fund the maintenance and monitoring of both the people and the infrastructure so that all the communities served have clean, safe water flowing everyday.

Are these P. citrinopileatus??? If so, not native to US and very interesting that they are colonizing your local area.

Looks like it! I'm no expert when it comes to mushrooms, barely a novice. A few months after the trees were logged, had a friend who was cultivating mushrooms as a hobby try to help me get some mushroom production going here at the homestead. We started off with an experiment to try to grow golden oysters in a swale filled with horse manure and straw. They put out lots of mycelium but never fruited. They must have somehow made their way to the tulip poplar naturally. The sugar bush is about 200ft from the swale where we did the initial innoculation. Thanks for the information, didn't know it was unusual to have these mushrooms in my area. Pretty amazing that they took hold even after I thought our experiment was a failure!

I can believe it!
