Habitat:
Southeastern Pennsylvania on dead wood.

Gills:
Attached, descending down the stalk. Some of the stalks are more prominent that the others. The size ranges from 1/8'' - 1/2''.

These mushrooms are very oyster like. Except they have a distinct purple color that I have not seen in oysters before.

The caps have a brownish/pinkish/purplish color. It seems like the younger ones have the more purple tint.

I harvested them with Vagabondsun about an hour ago and some of the purple is beginning to fade, except the stalk is still pretty purple.

A giant puffball can produce 7-9 trillion spores. If each spore produced one giant puffball they would reach to the sun and back.  :sun: - David Arora, Mushrooms Demystified

Panus conchatus looks like a match. Thank you. Any idea on edibility?

Despite the presence of gills on Panus conchatus, molecular biologists tell us that it belongs with the polypores, and has evolved with them. If you stop and think about that for a minute, you will see that gills, therefore, came to Panus conchatus independently--completely irrespective of the development of gills in the "gilled mushrooms." But if you are shocked by this example of what is called "convergent evolution," consider that "eyes," depending on how you define them, evolved independently in the animal world 40-60 times!

Examples of convergent evolution, however, are not evidence of some Grand Plan in the mind of a Designer; rather, they are merely indications that life on earth is limited by the laws of physics--how gravity, light, temperature (and so on) operate. In other words, an organism's evolutionary options, while not predetermined, are indeed limited by the physics of life on our planet. Thus, successful strategies like "eyes" or "gills" are more likely to occur.:thumbup:
