S_Proctor Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I have hunted morels my entire life, but I am a newcomer to chanterelles and oyster mushrooms. We recently acquired property that is mostly populated with tulip poplar, oak, beech, ash, elm and walnut. Cedar is scattered sporadically. I thought I would give summer/fall mushrooming a whirl. I found a couple of small chanterelle patches so far (golden and cinnabar)- and what I think are oyster mushrooms, if someone could help confirm. I don't want to mistake Angel's Wings for Chanterelles. Spore prints precede specimen they belong to. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhuntington Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Compare to Pleurotus pulmonarius, summer oyster mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, prior to posting here and they both have such similar characteristics. I am particularly concerned about positively identifying the one on the stick rather than the stumps. When comparing the Angel's wings to oysters, without the experience of having both side by side to touch, smell, etc...how do you differentiate when the two are so similar?

Dhuntington Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 To the best of my knowledge angle wings only grow on evergreen wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
