If soaked with a few of these do edible become inedible?

I have not inoculated wood myself (yet), but rumor has it that oysters will grow aggressively. Bore holes 1" deep and 5/16" in diameter every 6" in willow, poplar or cottonwood, poke a small plug of oyster fruiting body in each hole, cover with beeswax, and keep it wet. Be advised that the type of wood matters -- building lumber is mostly spruce or pine and most Indiana species will NOT colonize it (perhaps a good thing). Let me know if you meet with success!

For future reference, here is a photo of brown wood ear. These are particularly small examples; as they get bigger, they lighten in color and develop a "frosted" appearance on one side. Often you will find large and small fruits on the same piece of wood. These particular wood ears were found on May 1 and made a nice oriental soup.

Looks like oysters, but I'd have to see the underside to be sure. -
Lovely. -
Oh they are. Great on pizza. -
Nice. Sometimes it's best to NOT collect and come back a little later. -
I love Hen of the Woods. Just as good as morels, IMO. -
I have grown out some pre-innoculated blocks and also grown a few species on brown rice flour. For the most part the yield hasn't been worth the effort (or cost).

Try to also get a photo from underneath next time to show gill structure. It is legal to leave the trail to collect mushrooms in Indiana state parks.

My Peterson's Guide says this is edible.

I see these around a lot. I assume they are inedible? -
