This is the second one to show up (see my previous post). The deer got the first one and have now ate it down to the ground.

It smells like sweet almonds.

I agree, I will do a more detailed identification before cooking it up for the family. They call these "The Prince" around here.

Yes, they are delicious. A pain to clean though, there must be a trick to it that I haven't figured out yet.

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). I picked and dried a bunch two years ago and we've been adding them to soups and sauces. We're still alive and well.

Thanks for your input and narrowing it down to agaricus. Agaricus augustus seems more prevalent in our area and matches the description on local online sites. This species is apparently edible but I'm afraid this particular one is well past its prime picking time.

I was thinking it was a deer also and maybe our dog spooked him off before he finished his meal. We have a lot of blacktail deer here. They eat everything, and our landscaping reflects their appetite.

Enjoy that beauty while they're still in kittenhood. They grow up so fast!

Along with the occasional comment and vote, I talk about Lemmy with friends and encourage them to join, especially those still suffering with that other site that shall not be named.

Even with hot packing, getting the fruit to liquid ratio is challenging. My mother had it figured out, but even after years of canning, some of my batches have too much juice. My apple compote that I canned recently really leaned to the watery side even though I thought they were packed full. Maybe apples break down more proportionately than other types of fruit during processing?
