troutddicted Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 They look like old oysters to me but dont take my word for it 100%, do they smell sweet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistergreen Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 She wasn't 100% sure if they were edible so she trashed the mushrooms. She said there was no noticeable smell. They'll come back next year. I'll give it a stir fry to see till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I wouldn't eat those. Well past prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 They look like old water-logged Oysters... except the smaller gray ones in the background may be fresher examples of the same species. Need to see photos specifically of these smaller grayish ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistergreen Posted May 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Some more photos of them dried out a bit. They smell like regular white button mushrooms from the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'd say those are Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus species). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
