HST Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I am new to mushroom hunting and this looks like a great site for help. I found this on my gravel driveway growing from the root of a Maple tree. Plant.id shows it as a Pleurotus ostreatus or pearl oyster mushroom. Would like to confirm here.

GCn15 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Sure looks like a pleurotis but need a picture of one of the whole mushrooms underside to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HST Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Here's one from today, it's getting a bit dried out around the edges. Doubt I will eat either way as it grew a few feet from a treated lawn. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Looks like a species of Pleurotus (Oyster). It's not real common for these types to grow from buried wood, but I have seen this a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
