A bit of foraging
The mountain bike trail in the local park doubles as a hiking trail. Hikers considerately step to the side when cyclists come through. This trail is close to town and is often rather busy.
That is why I am surprised that no one had harvested these beautiful golden oyster mushrooms that were growing right beside the trail!
I grew up in a family of gardeners and learned early that some of the best food doesn't come from the grocery store. Freezing, canning and pickling kept us busy during the summer and fall.
Walks in the woods provided so many free foods to be foraged. Blackberries, wild onions and ramps, wild plums, gooseberries and elderberries and of course, mushrooms!
Golden Oyster Mushrooms
I loved learning about the sustainable food sources all around us and was happy that I could pass the knowledge along to my daughter.
Chicken of the Woods Mushrooms
Although I am surprised that so many people passed these by, I also grateful that they are now in the freezer, ready to be enjoyed later. They are so much tastier than anything you can buy in the grocery store!
Absolutely stunning mushrooms. As if from another planet 😮
It is always a delightful surprise to find them! They appear as if by magic!

Nature provides tasty and free for the taking things. Glad you found some treasures and have them for consumption at another time.
It was a bountiful walk in the woods!
And a good reason to keep some zip lock bags in the daypack!

Cute!
Ohhh!! How amazing to find so many mushrooms 🤩😍, I’m so jealous—I’ve never been that lucky @melinda010100, and I’ve walked through quite a few forests in my city.
The pictures are spectacular—I saved them to my gallery, my friend. Greetings and a lovely day to you 🤗😊🙏🏻👏
It is simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time, I think.
These are all mobile photos from Pixel phone. I'm glad you liked them.
Uffff!!! Me encantaron 😍😍😍 excelente móvil para las fotos @melinda010100 !! 👏☺️
That's awesome! I wish I had that to pick here in my area. Of course, fresh natural food is way much better than anything you can buy at the grocery store. Natural, organic, and so very healthy.
Right place at the right time! It was like finding treasure!
How wonderful! It's always nice and much healthier to eat food without a lot of processing and additives. And great that you can pass on knowledge to your daughter about nature and good food. Regards
It's lovely to be able to enjoy nature's bounty!
Wow!! Stunning and lovely
And delicious!
I can imagine 😊
Wow, they're beautiful, they're really "gold".
Golden priceless bounty!
Amazing mushroom pics. It looks like you enjoy foraging into forests to find all hidden treasures there. 😁🤗
I live in the woods, so it's always good to know what is going on around me.
Mother Nature has again shown us her greatness 😊
Right? It was a wonderful treasure to find beside the trail!

Yeah! It tells us to be adaptable to survive. We will find one way or another. Great lesson.

It's always fun to find delicious treasures in the woods!

Great tip! This was an unexpected find, so the phone photos were unplanned.
They are delicious!

Most people are unaware that these mushrooms are edible. Especially urban ones.

I feel bad for them, but it certainly leaves more for me! ❤️
Amazing discovery, golden oyster mushrooms are delicious cooked with Indomie, the taste is addictive😋. I often pick mushrooms like this, but here the color is mostly white.
We have white ones here too and I love them all with any sort of noodles.
What a surprise to find them and nobody had foraged them yet.
They look amazing.
Enjoy them when you make delicious dishes with them.
Have a wonderful Wednesday

I like the golden mushroom, they look beautiful
Aren't they pretty? I love finding them growing in the woods
That's beautiful of course,Iam one of the lovers of muchroom but this golding type i have"t seen in my place here in Nigeria the one that's Vailable with us here is the white colour type that's is very sweet, Nature is powerful.
We ocassionaly find white oyster mushrooms growing here in Wisconsin, too. I don't notice much difference in taste.
Wow!
I've never seen those mushrooms before!
How beautiful!
These are definitely two of my favorites! This was a very lucky find!
Undoubtedly excellent!
Congratulations on that!
that golden Golden Oyster Mushrooms look so tasty even when they are still on the tree. I really woudl love to pluck it out.
maybe some people are afraid to pluck it, afraid that it would be the last meal.

There really are no poisonous look alikes for these delicious treats, but you are right. People just assume that if it doesn't come from the store it might kill you!
Not being a mushroom eater or fan, I can only enjoy the beauty of those mushrooms in the photograph. I have zero knowledge about its beneficial sides!

I don't know if there are any benefits or nutritional value in a mushroom, but I do love them!

Awesome find of nature's bounty, free mushrooms are awesome! I don't know enough about the local ones here to safely harvest any though. Smart move to freeze them up for later use!
Freezing works quite well, I was actually rather surprised. . And Google Lens works well for me for ID ing. It also tells me if there are any look alikes that I need to be aware of. Technology has so many awesome uses!
Hello, happy day.
The pictures of the bike park are really beautiful.
And I am very glad that you know part of the wild and natural foods that nature gives.
Here, most of the young people of the city do not know everything about food and medicinal plants, and just like there, we are surrounded by them.
I hope you enjoy the mushrooms.
I made some some time ago, since we don't eat them much, battered in bechamel sauce and used them as a filling, for some Swiss chard and lettuce gratin that I made.
That was a meal, that I made for a vegetarian friend and she quite liked it.
My best wishes.

I love gratins and yours sounds delicious.
All children need to learn more about nature and the world around them.

I had a while without walking around and delighting in your images. As much as I needed it, it's like putting eye drops in my eyes.
These photographs are beautiful, and it strikes me how wonderful the mushrooms look.
As always, you with excellence.
Thanks so much ❤️

I aways enjoy your comments

Whenever we go for a walk in a place with natural scenery, we definitely find something special like this. These also look quite beautiful.
Nature provides us with many tasty delectable treats! 😁
Oh my! fresh and natural mushrooms are often tastier. I think they were left there, possibly because people do not know much about them or they were in a haste to get to their destinations.
Lucky you to have foraged them. I'd do same if I had found them too.
I think many people don't know their way around in the woods!
They are SO beautiful.
