Oysters have a lot of close look-alikes. It's my favorite mushroom to gather
and I love to eat them.
The best ones around here are on elm wood. Those big fallen elm trees will
produce flushes of oysters for several years.
When an oyster that looks exactly like the good ones grows on a tree we
call a 'box-elder' (poor cousin of a maple) it is horrible tasting and
usually extra 'moldy' looking.
