Mushrooms and Clams

It was sunny and warm on Mon Dec 8 on Tomales Bay. The water clarity was fantastic for a muddy bay, perhaps 8-10 meters. I took a more reasonably paddle this time to Hog Island Oysters, about 8 miles. Someone was digging for steamer clams on a rocky shore near the oyster farm (limit 50 a day, minimum 1.5 inches). I'll have to try that someday.

My brother found oyster mushrooms growing on one of his logs of firewood. We ate a bunch, them saved the log hoping to nurse some more. He's wondering if he should water it every now and then. He may stumble into become a mushroom farmer after all.
