They are bigger than any I have found otherwise they look like it. Is there any smell?

I think some seem like Hypsizygus ulmarius. Though the gills are travelling down the stem on others, which makes me think Pleurotus.

There is no real strong smell, I would say maybe sort like button mushrooms smell.
I looked up some pictures of Hypsizygus ulmarius, but the ones I have all the caps dip in the middle, they are concave and all the pictures I was looking at of Hypsizygus ulmarius the cap is convex.

Yes, I'm not too confident on the ID. I've picked oysters many times myself, but I'm not 100% sure what you have.

Are Hypsizygus ulmarius toxic?

No, from what I read  Hypsizygus ulmarius are editable but not as tasty.

I don't think so, but on second inspection I think my ID is crap. :smile:

So nevermind.

They probably are oysters, but they're something I find easier to ID in person than in pictures. I hope someone else can be less useless. :laugh:

I got some thumbs up from a couple of people on a local Mycological Society facebook group I am apart of. But I will wait to get a few more from here before I actually eat them though.
Thanks again!

They might be Pleurotus dryinus.
