    What if you just called it 'wood'? Doubt many, if any would be the wiser

    Wish I could find some...I have been searching for over a year (southern Ontario here). If anyone has an abundance and wants someone to do some tea brewing experimentation/QC....let me know
  3. Thanks Dave. Your knowledge is very impressive. Needless to say I will not be taking a chance on these yet.
  4. Sure looks like it! That would send my wife through the roof (or more likely bolting out the door!) lol
  5. Spore printing as we speak. I believe though the orangish cluster (which as an aside, is no taller than my pinky, my fault for not including anything for scale) has white spores as I saw some white spores on some of the lower rung mushrooms in the cluster - I will however confirm later. Apologies, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada - indeed it is getting cooler out! The singles are definitely different than the clusters - Are the species you mentioned Dave, edible? Granted I am not planning on eating either prior to much more research, just curious is all. The Singles got very slimy and I tossed them out, sadly.
  6. It's very tough to tell with Elm Oysters if they are wormy until you cut the stem (seeing the holes in the cut of the stem is the tell-tale) and often these are high up in a tree. I saved the ones with worms (and stems) and made a killer mushroom stock last night (strained all the worms et all through a fine mesh siv )
  7. Great day for Elm Oysters and a few younger Dryads (very curious to see the difference in texture with the younger ones) Need a bit of help on the following 2 - the cluster was growing on fallen Manitoba Maple, the singles on the ground: These ones, the edges proceeded to get darker/slimey once left inside post harvest
  8. I am airing on the side of caution anyways and have thrown one out and kept one printing away. Regardless, I appreciate your assistance tremendously.
  9. I would suggest it is an almost light tan color, though not solid, lighter around the edges.
  10. What do you folks do when you find a mushroom with some worms (the little white things with black heads)? Lately if there are a lot, I will try to take the mushroom and poke it on a stick in hope of reproduction near my house, if there are not many worms, I try to remove as many as possible and figure the super high heat of the pan will kill them (more protein?!) Any harm in this?
  11. Spore print is brown - similar color to the gills.
  12. Printing as we speak. Will report back
  13. Thanks Dave Based on your observations, would either have any harmful effect if consumed? Would you consider this one a 'safe' bet to try? Cheers
  14. The gils are brown'ish I would say. No sawtooth edges on the gills (though the stem is 'frilly/fuzzy') and the flesh is fairly soft It smells very similar to the Elm Oyster, though it is not growing on the same trees. Many thanks, Dave et all.
