Oyster mushroom.

The oyster mushroom or Phleurotus meaning ''side ear'' grows in layers on dead deciduous wood.
It is a common edible mushroom used mainly in oriental cookery.
I think it is rather pretty.

Three good things.
1. Cleaned the house all the way through so all spick & span
2.A really nice couple have arrived today for a couple of nights, they are Eddie Stobart fans, I meet such a lovely variety of folk in this job.
3.Tui has had a bath so smells all nice & clean!

@jtookey150 We have to keep it tidy because of the B&B's Jean otherwise I would be slacking!!! Chatting with friends is so much more important. we have a big day this week too so needed to get the house straight!

[Pat Knowles]

@nancyperry @jtookey150 Thank you both for the fave, very kind of you!

[Pat Knowles]

@anazad511 I don't know what to do with mine Ana shall I send it you?

[👑 AnaZad]

@happypat - I'll be happy to receive them!!! LOL - Tell me if you need a recipe.

[Pat Knowles]

@anazad511 Well I only bought one Ana & I read that they shrink alot so I don't think I will be able to make much but thank you so much. Can you fry them?

[👑 AnaZad]

@happypat - uhm, since you don't have much of it, maybe you can use it as part of a stir fry mixed with some other veggies.

[Judith Greenwood]

Wow Pat you've gone really arty here - fab lighting. I need to start stretching myself.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg To be truthful Judith it gives me the creeps!!!

this is a great shot - nice light. I'm not a mushroom fan, however Oyster Mushrooms have a texture and quality all of their own that I quite like!
