Butter fried Scarlet Elf Mushroom

These bright red mushrooms tend to grow on the dead woods and branches, near rivers and mashes. They are slightly firm in texture, with a layer of skin on the grills that need to be removed in order to clean off the dirt.

I simply fried them with a teaspoon of butter, and pinch of sugar and salt over high heat, until til they shrink. Fry them in bacon fat is also very delicious.

Hope you enjoy this recipe.

Lately, I’ve been drawn to florals and organic textures, letting that inspiration bloom in this piece. She doesn’t have a name yet, but she might just become one of the new T-shirt designs I’m working on.

The month of May marks a transition time in Central Appalachia's forests as the canopy's vibrant green cloak closes above the forest floor, and the spring ephemerals go dormant and fade away. The forest now belongs to the ferns, fungi, mosses, and lichens, which collectively drive nature's great recycling engine. The next great spectacle, just around the corner, is the mountain laurel bloom, with a few plants already busting out their colors.

Photos from two different weekend hikes around the Cheat River Canyon (which, along with Dolly Sods and the New River Gorge, has one of the best laurel blooms in Central Appalachia).
