Just ate some off a cottonwood that looked like that on top. I was not joking. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"

Definitely smells like Oyster though. I didnt pick them but they are just on other side of the river from me. If I go cut some wood later I'll get some better pics. www.rtssetter.com

I would say where it grew was the reason it came out round because it wasn't on the side of a tree. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"

Thats a hunk off one of the big ones, the part I tore off to smell. We had abut 4" of rain last week and cold after basically a hot drought, maybe it was the perfect storm for huge oyster mushrooms. www.rtssetter.com

I am serious, I would pick them all and have a feast. We have not had enough rain here, still very dry. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"

I have not seen the bottom, but he said the gills ran from the head down the stem, so if it does I think oyster. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"

Sure as heck wasn’t going to eat them till I got a positive ID but I’m not ruling out oysters, just never seen them that big. I’ll try tomorrow to at least flip em over and get a pic of bottom if their still there. www.rtssetter.com

I think he may be right too but I'd need to see the bottoms as well. There are several different types of oyster mushrooms. I have seen at least 5 different types in the woods here various times of the year too.

Then when we got there I wasn’t so sure because of the shape, so symmetrical. www.rtssetter.com
