Oyster Mushroom

Description:

Very pale ecru/ white cream in color, multiple growths attached to a tree. No noticeable smell, and not slimy.

Habitat:

Kentucky, Mammoth Cave area forests, near the Green River. Mountainous, rolling hills area. Between 600-800 feet in elevation. Growing on I believe a maple tree. I didn't pay attention to the tree, actually. The tree had multiple patches of these mushrooms, covering an approx 5X4 inch area to smaller "baby" mushrooms patches, as you can see in one of the pics.

Notes:

The temperature lately in this area has ranged between the mid 50"s to mid 70's the past few weeks. Today was mid to low 60's.
