Pleurotus ostreatus
These mushrooms are wide and fleshy. They can be white, gray or brown. Caps can be up to eight inches wide, usually in a semi-circle shape. The gills (feathery things under the cap) are white or yellowish. Sometimes Oyster Mushrooms have as short stalk, but it's never more than 1/2 long.
Oyster Mushrooms can be found year-round on deciduous (lose leaves in Fall) trees, especially willows. Occasionally, they grow on pines.
