Olena Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hello guys, first time harvested mushrooms this year. Are these oysters? Picked then from dead trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Falcone Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 They don’t look like oysters to me. Stipe location is wrong. Gills on oysters are decurrent, but those appear to stop at the stipe rather than run down it. Also the brown staining on the gills is putting me off I’m certainly not an expert. Just my observations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I agree with Jeff those do not look like oyster species that I am familiar with. Try a spore print? Oysters will be white/violet grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
