le.chasseur Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Just found these on a bike ride at a location where I have harvested oyster mushrooms before, but I wanted to check here first! They have the licorice smell and were found growing in an overlapping pattern on the bark of a dead, fallen tree. They had some beetles and white worms in the gills, but they were able to be cleaned out. None of the mushrooms were bug-eaten. Is it safe to say these are oyster mushrooms? Thank you for your help!

Dave W Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 These are Oyster Mushrooms. I'm guessing they were rinsed before the photo was taken, which would account for the shiny/wet appearance and the gills sticking together. For purpose of ID it's best to photograph before submerging in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
