anise smelling oyster

I didn't have my camera with me at the time, and I did collect it however it dried up severely cause I left it outside. But it had fruited by itself, no other lil one's that I could see, it was huge, the cap having a diametter of oo, say something like 4-5inches, It didn't really look like an oyster but it did. The gills had the characteristics of a really mature lactarius, they were were convex, and the stipe was huge aswell, asfar as I could cut it from inside the tree, was about 5inches if not alil more, it was much bigger then any other pluroutus I've seen. It had fruited in a coniferous part of the wood's with an occasional birch, or maple. Very moist and the spot it was in was getting a good deal of sun. There are other chant's, and ramaria all over, aswell as woodear and other lact's, and bolets, just not fruiting at this time. The smell wasn't really of that sweet plurotus smell, I'm sure we all know that thick oyster smell. This had a more peculiar, it had a real anise like smell to it, it ws also fruiting from a scots pine. Like I said I no longer have the specimen unfortunately.

Pleurotus ostreatus has the odor of anise because it contains benzaldehyde, a "watched" chemical.

-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

damn I wish I could have saved it, it defintely didn't look like the normal oysters, I find. Then again I shouldn't be surprised.

If it was fruiting from conifer, it could be Pleurocybella porrigens
