To eat or not to eat...
We think these are edible "Oyster Mushrooms" growing at the base of a tree trunk in our yard....however, the "Mushroom Book" is in Arizona! We thought we would post a picture and see if anyone can identify these BEFORE we eat any. Any ideas?
They look a lot like the fungus on trees in Western Washington State, where I grew up. Are they soft or hard? I never knew of anyone eating them. I have a good friend in Bellingham who's in a mycological society (mushrooms), and they go out on field trips to find edible mushrooms in the Northwest. I can run these by her to see what she says.
