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?

"Yet" because I have a couple of work trips coming up this fall. Commercial airplanes are flying Petri dishes of viruses and bacteria. The worst illnesses (flu and colds) I've had historically were following air travel.
Does Covid count? I still haven't caught it. Yet.
Using Connect for now and it's working well for me
Yes, they are delicious. A pain to clean though, there must be a trick to it that I haven't figured out yet.
