ID please. Oyster?
    #22453715 - 10/30/15 01:59 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat:  Found growing on the ground in a bunch of dead trees.
Gills:  Attached gills.
Stem:  Thick.
Cap:  White, wavy.
Spore print color:  White or clear.
Bruising:  None.
Other information:  Smells like other oyster mushrooms I've grown or picked.

I'm pretty sure this is an oyster but it was found on the ground (possibly growing out of decaying wood underneath).  The stem is also huge.  I think it may be a few pins that grew together.

I don't see decurrent gills, and wood dwelling (i.e. all North American) oysters are usually solidly attached to wood; it's hard to miss. Try Clitocybe and related genera.

Hmm..  I'm looking at Clitocybe, I don't think those match up.

This one has one thick stem and I can count four separate caps all coming from it.  You're right that the gills are not decurrent.

It did have a piece of wood stuck in the stem when I pulled it up and the forest floor where I was standing may have all been decaying wood.  Fall is hitting hard here though and everything was pretty well covered in leaves.

*edit*  I goggled white clitocybe and found some better matches.  Thanks :smile:
