Hi, I got a little surprise in my garden today when I found the mushrooms pictured below. I had been trying to grow Pearl Oyster mushrooms on straw nearby where I found these but I'm not sure if these are Oysters, and edible, or if they'rs some stray species. I certainly wasn't expecting any to pop up where they did.




Habitat: Growing on garden soil through landscaping stones.
Gills: Couldn't see any
Stem: In as much as there is one, very small, its white.
Cap: Brownish, slightly orangeish on inside, on outside whitish with same colour as inside where white is rubbed off.
Spore print color: No spores or gills that I can see, there are little white dots on the insides that rub off which could be spores though.
Bruising: None
Location: Midlands of England
Scent: Mushroom smell
Thanks

Pleurotus ostreatus:Commonly called oyster mushrooms due to the look and smell. They have a white spore print, cap is fleshy to tough, stem absent, eccentric, or lateral. Gills decurrent if short stem or stub-like stem present. Veils absent. Also a cool fact oysters are 3-6 times richer in B vitamins than most mushrooms, they contain phosphorus, potassium, sodium,iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper as well as being very rich in protein. Look alikes include lentinellus, panellus, crepidotus and hypzigus.

Thanks guys, looks like its a Peziza then, I didn't think it was Oysters but I just wanted to be sure as I was trying to grow them nearby & I've never seen any other species growing in my yard. I see some Peziza species are poisonous so I won't bother trying to eat these.
