Fungal Harvest

Today was the first ever fungal harvest of my life.

BEFORE


AFTER


What remains on the block is kinda gross. Big recommendation... harvest when the mushrooms are all white and boingy crisp. Ours were not boingy anymore. Brown is mushy. I had to clip off lots of brown stems.

We had that storminess all day on Saturday, and the air was so humid, our appetizer potato chips (for the pasta party) got sort of mushy in about a half-hour. Point being, I wonder if the extreme humidity caused the ripe white mushrooms to brown a little. I may have let them grow too long, too; who knows.
