oyster mushrooms

Took some time off from fishing and splitting firewood to do some mushroom hunting.   Picked about 20 pounds and left several hundred pounds on the trees.  I love the smell of liquorice.

Man what a nice looking bird.  I want to do more of the mushroom thing.  Those on the trees look easier to find.
