I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… watching mushrooms grow is sooooo fascinating. Golden Oysters are no different. The clusters start soooo small and totally strange looking! Doesn’t take them long to spore out and become huge and beautiful! 💛 Golden Oysters are slightly nutty tasting, almost like a delicate cashew. They are brittle and crumble in the pan while frying so no need to chop up. Pickling golden oysters is one of the many ways to devour them! Visit https://northspore.com/blogs/the-black-trumpet/6-best-golden-oyster-mushroom-recipes?srsltid=AfmBOorcId—b0MMkQuF-G1091rBWjs3Ve4kf_DzJCI_WKUaUAoQ-_iG for a handful of amazing golden oyster recipes! ⭐️
