Habitat:
Where does it grow? Jamaica, Caribbean.
What does it grow on? Wood on a meadow.
Gills: Please see the attached photos.
Stem: Please see the attached photos.
Cap: Please see the attached photos.
Spore print color: In process...
Bruising: In process...
Other information: Please see the attached photos.
The picture quality is rather low, as I had only my cell phone with me when I encountered the mushrooms.

PS: this website is nearly not usable when using a cell phone (Nokia Asha 201) for the display. Each page comes with way too much text on top, and before I reach the essential parts of a page I have to scroll endlessly. Please try out by yourself. Also, picture upload does not work from my cell phone.

Oysters? Thanks. I would still like more opinions from other people.

Although they do resemble oysters in color and gill formation I think they might be Clitocybe Gibba also known as the common funnel which is a good edible. They also bear resemblance to gomphus clavatus also known as pig's ear, which is another good edible but the normal colors of pigs ear are darker. I would always wait for a Trusted Identifier though. Nice find though, they look to be in prime condition.

They look like Pleurocybella porrigens (probably shouldn't eat this) to me, but I am not great with oyster-like species.

Interesting, the last picture kinda looks like Pleurocybella porrigens but the first few, not so much. Also most of the Pleurocybella porrigens that I looked at appear to be a more pure white color throughout their life-cycle. Anyone else have an opinion/suggestion? This one has got me quite interested.

Well, so many saying this might be one of the edible ones. I will google for these botanical names given by you all, then make my mind and grab my teeth into the mushrooms. Maybe. If you all recognize I am not posting anymore thereafter, then you know that this wasn´t that edible, ha ha ha! please continue to assist me with the identification, great thanks to everyone!

Alright, I was just browsing for images of the three species mentioned so far, with Google. So far, I believe the "Pleurocybella porrigens" has the closest resemblance, what do you all think about it?

I will now read more about that species in Wikipedia. This thread is NOT closed, please continue to post your opinions and guesses!

Do you know what kind of tree that is? Angel's wings grow on conifers as far as I know.

I still think they look like some crazy Oysters, Pleurotus ostreatus.

Hmm, they may be too meaty for angel wings. Tough call.

Any way you can get some less blurry pictures?

Still not sure, what kind of tree that was. However, I made some more photos today of the remaining mushrooms and of the tree trunk.

When I came back today, they had cut the lawn and also most of the mushrooms. I was fortunate to got a slice of the trunk with the mushrooms, so I hopefully can grow them now on the original stem at my house.

When those mushrooms are young, their color has shades of ivory: white to light yellowish. Older and dryer, they get darker, like honey yellow.

I am adding some more photos. See here the mishroom two days older, dryer. Also see here the tree trunk, maybe it tells what kind of tree it is.

Oysters have a whitesh grayish spore print.  Did you end up taking a print?

I tried, even on a dark underground (a spent coffee ground and saw dust mix), but the result, if any, was so thin that I wasn't sure if there was a slightly light spore print or just an illusion. So I prefer to answer, that I have no reliable spore print yet.

Here a photo of the mushroom and the invisible spore print below.

They are oyster mushrooms, you can eat them.  The older ones get tough though...They dry out pretty quick in the full sun.  I'd give them some shade and set up a sprinkler to go off for a minute every hour next to them.

Thanks. Someone told me, they also look similar to the genus Hohenbuehelia with its individual species. True? Any suggestions which H. species?

Otherwise I would agree they could be oyster mushrooms, probably pleurotus pulmonarius.

I think those tend to grow more on woodchips then straight out of stumps, but I could be wrong.

Next time just cut off a specimen and take a spore print on a piece of foil.
