Wow, that’s faster than I thought. One hour to prep gives a few hours of heat. If you’re making your own bread dough, you’re probably waiting for the final rise while you stoke the oven.

Thanks for the info. I’ve heard they take a while to heat up. How much time do you need to fire it up and preheat prior to baking the bread?

I’m so jealous of that outdoor wood-fired oven. I have some homemade sourdough pizzas that would be marvelous baked in that beauty.

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.

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.

“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
