Hello, this is Joe M. trying a new post, as we learned last week. Today I went to the Boise river looking for Oysters (I am trying for 3 weeks now), and I found just a few. So far I only have found brownish ones. I think they are Pleorotus ostreatus, due to their mussel shape, clustered, margin incurved, mild taste, decurring gills... So far I haven't being able to find any light grey, with white gills. So I don't know if I am early or late.The other ones I believe they are "Velvet foot". Here are the pictures.

Joe, it is still a little early to find oysters, so keep looking. Fresh edible ones should be coming out now as the days warm up. Nice to see the F. velutipes also. They should be out for a while also. I would call this a successful hunt. Genny Steiner
