Did You Know? Mushroom Month

Did you know that August is Mushroom Month? Even though the month is half-way done, there's no reason not to still celebrate! Mushrooms are used in many different recipes and each kind of mushroom has its own flavor.

This librarian's favorite mushrooms is the Oyster mushroom! It's a tasty variety that is even grown around El Paso! It's really easy to cook, too. My favorite recipe involves frying them in oil with just a little salt and pepper. Perfect!
