More Mushrooms

["Mine!" (Yes, that's a basket is packed full of mushrooms)]

I couldn't bear the thought of letting the oyster mushrooms rot on the tree. I got up a couple hours early, extended the ladder another 8 feet, and pulled down another 10 pounds of deliciousness. After an hour of rinsing and slicing I had packed the dehydrator to capacity. Winter is going to be sweet! There is still at least 15 pounds left on the tree, but it's fully 35 feet in the air. The worms are going to get those.

[By tonight these will be crispy, storable food]
