Look for overlapping shelf-like clusters on tree trunks and logs, often high up, and check the underside for decurrent gills that run down a short off-centre stem. Pick young specimens that are still firm and pale, as old ones turn tough, leathery and prone to insect larvae.
Keep fresh caps in a paper bag in the fridge for up to about five days, avoiding sealed plastic which makes them slimy. They dry well in a dehydrator or warm airy spot, and cooked oysters can be frozen; raw freezing tends to make them watery.
