The oyster mushroom gets its name from its cap which, some say, resembles an oyster. The stem of the oyster mushrooms is perhaps more distinct; it unfurls something like one of those old-time paper lady's fans. The oyster mushroom has...

Corn Stalks

Here are the directions for serving sweet corn on the cob: First, place a large pot of water on to boil. Then rush to the garden plot and select the perfect ears—creamy and solid with little pearl kernels at the tips. Rush back to the kitchen and strip off the husks and rush the corn into the kettle. Let the corn boil six minutes then heap it on the platter, with a mound of butter and a big salt shaker nearby. Abandon conversation until everyone is full.

The best way to enjoy corn on the cob is to serve it within 20 minutes of picking. This is very doable if you are growing your own corn. It is also quite doable if you befriend a farmer and attend a “corn party” where fresh picked corn is served at picking time.

But if you do not grow corn or live close by a corn farm, then choose corn that has been picked in the last day or two. When you buy corn at the farm market, serve it the same day, but certainly not more than a day later.

Summer and early autumn is the season for fresh corn with August and September being the peak of the season in the Northern Hemisphere.

In the United States of America today, there are somewhere around 200 varieties of corn in cultivation.

How do you like your corn? The answer probably says a lot about where you are from.
