Oysters in my yard?
    #10554921 - 06/22/09 05:02 PM (14 years, 7 months ago)

I was hoping someone could confirm my suspicion here.  I have not picked oysters before, but found the following mushrooms on an elm stump in my yard.  I am hoping they are oysters.  I took a spore print (my first attempt) on white paper and do not see any obvios color differention from the paper.  I am trying again on black.  The pictures are posted, I hope.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

They certainly look like Oysters to me.  Assuming the spore print is white, and the stump is a hardwood (I'm not familiar with Elm, but wikipedia says it's a hardwood :smile:)

The spores are a real light neutral gray.

how they smell , they look like it and sometimes they bruise yellow like that some pleurotus species or it could be some of the yellow a slime mold maybe take a good close up in that case only eat the not bruise ones , and pay atencion to Bobzimmer advise

Thanks for the responses.  The yellow does look like bruising.  On the black paper, the spores indicate a grayish color as you suggest.  I will taste sample and report back.
Thanks,
Matt

The sample was excllent.  Tasted good, no ill effects.  Today there is another LBM growing out of the site where I picked the original oysters.  I am doing a spore print right now.

I'm confident that the yellow is a slime like mold that often contaminates Oyster Mushrooms. I wouldn't recommend eating any that have the yellow. And According to the National Audubon Society of Mushrooms, there are a few look-alikes that have yellowish gills. Although I'm certain those are probably oyster mushrooms. Watch for maggots, and Beatles, they love oysters as much as people.

Those definitely look like Pleurotus, and that yellow stuff is totally a slime mould growing on it.

If you find more in that condition, cut off the yellow crap.
