Oysters?


Recommended Posts

I'm almost positive that these are some kind of oysters, but the key word is almost. Further research is necessary before I put 'em in a frying pan. Anyone ever see these before? They have a light brown top with a lighter, gilled bottom. They are growing on dead elm that I've had stacked for a few years. I've seen aspen oysters this spring and they were really white. These aren't as white. I searched "elm oysters", but the pics that came up didn't match these. Thoughts?

Look like oysters to me too. Cap color varies from white to brown, but the flesh should be solid white. You can do a spore print too, should be white or light violet gray. Most I have printed were the latter. Also, assuming they are oysters, they should continue fruiting in that wood, nice luck.
