@grammyn@haskar@lynnz My kids called these mounds "crawfish houses" but they are actually the entrance to their underground burrows. In New Jersey, the crayfish lived in clean water, but we didn't eat them!
I actually have at least one crawfish mound in a box in the garage, brought from Louisiana 40 years ago. Crazy friend had a plan to try to fire them in a kiln (to sell) and I have a kiln. Never tried firing though, I'm sure they would explode.
@margonaut I had to look this up! There's a video that shows processing the crawfish mound into clay then using it like regular clay. It was pretty labor-intensive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC1lZCrneVY
I didn't see any mounds processed as-is. I think I'll stick to other media!
@eudora Oh my goodness, that was interesting. I didn't even think about all the "biomatter" in there. But no, this was a guy with lots of ideas and zero money, LOL. He wanted to sell them for souvenirs.
