Definately wait for a definate ID, Davetx has had some incorrect calls lately (no offence man :laugh: ) and he is probably right on this one.
BUT!!!!!
-as you know mushrooms arent the most forgiving. "Close but no cigar" just doesnt cut it. DONT EAT IT yet, it'll only be a few hours before one of the "old hat" experts replies. :thumbup:

Wrong DaveTX.

There are many species of mushroom which resemble the Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), especially when they are small. Pleurocybella porrigens, Cheimonophyllum candidissimus, Phyllotopsis nidulans, and Crepidotus applanatus come to mind.

Though it is listed as edible in many field guides, Pleurocybella porrigens was blamed for several deaths in 2004.

Gillen's mushrooms do resemble oysters, but something about them doesn't look right to me. If I had them in my hand I could tell, but from what I can see, they look iffy. Best not to eat them.

DaveTX, almost everything you post is wrong. Fiddleheads are indeed good eating.




I'm not trying to put down davetx - , but really - dont risk your health on it.
I wouldnt ever ID a mushroom I'm not sure on and had experience with - and at the moment thats amanitas and Subbies. Davetx has made a few bad calls in the past, so wait untill you get confirmation on his ID before ingesting it.

Whats the rush anyways?

Take a spore print, take better pictures of the gills, google the Latin names I gave you. With a little work you should be able to ID them.

There are a few features you should check that will ensure that those are one of the edible Pleurotus species.

Look closely at the gill edges. They should not be serrated, but should be smooth.

If any bit of stem was on the side of one of the caps, it should be fuzzy (downy).

Make a spore print on white paper. It should come out white or pale lilac. You will still be able to see a white spore print on white paper. Be sure to leave the mushroom on the paper overnight so you get a good heavy deposit of spore powder.

If you can verify all of these features (there are other features as well, but they are clear from your photographs), then these are edible. If any of them are wrong, then they are something else and should not be eaten.

Happy mushrooming!
