Oyster Mushroom Soup

While I was busy being distracted by gnarly looking autumn roots and manky looking Ink Caps , my weekend guest spotted a small amount of Oyster fungus growing on a stump. Braving brambles and scraping of slugs we salvaged a small amount.

It made a very tasty soup with some pak choi and brocolli from the vegebox so will have to hunt out some more, and was a perfect meal after a long day away from , also my first time using the lovely bowls my brother sent back from Asia….
