Xiaojun Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Going to the wood today, saw some oyster mushrooms. Some of them stained bright yellow under the gills. Anyone saw that before. I only collected those having a little yellow and I cut the yellow part off. Is that ok? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhuntington Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Bright yellow is caused by a slime mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Oysters do this when they get rained on or generally get a day or two past prime. If I get hard up for wild mushrooms, I've been known to collect them and trim them as you did; but since they fruit pretty much all summer I usually just wait until I stumble across something that's in better shape. What you did won't hurt you. I just think it's more work than it's worth. Hope this helps, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
