Enchanted by oyster mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms have been enchanting me left and right these days. They seem to be showing up in vegetarian dishes at a bunch of restaurants around here, and each time I have them I fall a little more in love. So when I came across a big display of oyster mushrooms at the grocery store […]
