Yellow Oysters??

Dave, I really appreciate your insight, and will proceed with caution. Thanks for taking the time to address my concern. Chuck

Thanks for your reply Dave. I am just a beginner, and don't have the expertise of my Father. My only reservation with harvesting this particular mushroom is the gills don't seem to travel all the way down the stem. There are a lot more clusters than what I illustrated in my photos. Can I ask if you would harvest them to eat? Chuck

I live in eastern Pa and just found clusters of these gorgeous mushrooms, and I'm hoping they're edible Yellow Oysters. Can someone tell me if they are? They are growing on a fallen log, but I'm not sure what type of tree. My Dad used to pick wild mushrooms and told me one sign of an edible mushroom is if insects are flying around them, which they were. Another is if turtles have bitten them. As you can see on one of the photos bites have been taken. I'd like to harvest them tomorrow.
