Tek Check 6: Blue Oyster Mushroom Trumpet Deformity

I tried to get a second flush out of those blue oyster mushroom blocks. These guys turned out more like something you’d see on the ocean floor than in a forest. Instead of fanning out, they took on a trumpet shape. Aside from trumpet mushrooms, have you seen such a trumpet looking fungi?

The stems are quite tough, so there wasn’t much to eat here. I could at least use it for a craft project of some sort.

I ended up drying this odd mushroom, and added it to my jar of dried ones.

What an interesting shape for a blue oyster mushroom!
