Vjhebert3 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 looks, smells, and feels like oysters. but generally here in louisiana i dont see oysters once the temperature gets above 80°. not saying its impossible, just a curiosity imo. will take a spore print as soon as possible and update.

CajunShroomer3578 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Great to see some fellow Louisianaians here !! Where ya located ? They sure look like oysters. I usually find them in the heat of mid summer. Not saying for certain these pictures are “oysters”. Good possibility. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/pleurotus_pulmonarius.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Oyster Mushrooms --genus Pleurotus-- encompass several different species (although most manuals only mention P. ostreatus). The different species generally occur at different times of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I had oysters on my sweet gum logs all summer long last year. Tampa Bay area, high 90's but here we have never broke 100* like it does in the rest of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
