| Oyster Mushrooms |
The cluster looked differently after I harvested the mature mushrooms. I mistakenly made this image one and 1/2 stops over exposed. I liked the result and decided to show it.

I think they were too crowded and that is why they did not attain the size of the others. I decided they would not grow further and harvested what you see.
I fried them in cracker crumbs and butter. Their flavor reminded me of the mushrooms, "sponge and snake head", we used to find in the "woods" back on the farm.

I got a nice spore print from the first mushroom I harvested.

I have been trying to make permanent slides without success so far. I used Canada Balsam which is touted as the best sealant by many but it dissolved all the spores upon contact. The cover slip was secure, however.
I am starting to think that I might not need permanent slides as long as I make captures like these.
