Id? is this an edible oyster mushroom...on something else?

I found it growing in a sealed stratified seed pot.

Thanks

Those,don't look,like oysters to me although I'm not usually correct with mushroom I.ds

I love the crested look it has

Fkn hectic!

im sure theyre Hare's ear fungi , which are kinda a bit like orange peel fungi ,

i frget the names of cup fungi thrs so damn many lol

, they love the compost and will try and snaffle an outdoor woodchip bed if allowed

... hmmm ... *smoothes imaginary moustache*...

possibly phlogiotis helvelloides?

or tremella foliaceae , def not tremella fuctiformis

oh yeah , definitely not oysters ..

"Edible; lacking in flavor, sometimes used in soups."

Something similar has popped up in my garden bebed. No idea what it is.

no you dare not ,

if in doubt ... throw it out ;) and thats even the slightest shadow of doubt..

2 kinds of mycologists.... ones that can confirm an ID beyond doubt , and ones that may die ... etc...

heard the lectures already? , them ^^

better safe than sorry and um ... yeah ,

cant be losing our beloved dreamwalker to some naughty fungi now can we?

I'll go check the bottemless pit (mushroom book) ... I may be quite a while ....

here was some pics of that section in the book ,

i guess it might be fun to pull a few up and dissect a few , see if there are stems under there or what not

and oh yeah , I meant Hare's ear , not rabbit's

p.s. this book is only £19 and I got it for a fiver ex-library (which are always worth checking)

... I've never come across any book this good before... paul stamets books came very close tho

EDIT - poo , it says in the book that i cant take pics of it and copy electronically

i guess i should remove them ..

umm lol , well i guess I can recommend that book as indespensible

and I'll just list the names ... and maybe you can give em a good googling or something..

basidiomycete possibility

guepina helvelloides - said to be edible but far too rare for that

the rest are ascomycetes (spore shooters not droppers)

helvella acetabulum - spring to summer, poisonous unless well cooked

peziza badia - late summer to autumn, poisonous unless thoroughly cooked

peziza petersii - burn sites and soil, early summer to autumn, uncommon and not edible

peziza succosa - damp soil, summer one, not edible

peziza cerea - sandbags, damp mortar-lol, soil, often found in cellars, all year round, not edible

peziza vesiculosa - rich soil, all year, poisonous unless well cooked

(hares ear) otidea onotica - soil, autumn, not edible

otidea alutacea - soil, summer to autumn , not edible

(orange peel fungus) {unlikely due to colour} aleuria aurantia - soil/lawns, early autumn to early winter, common + edible

... phew thats about all the candidates I can come up with from that book... and obviously season can be a git, since all they need is for mycelium to collonise and the right microclimate

(yours bring a new meaning to the baggy method )

and by that ,..... dont eat them mate

p.s. here's that guy's web site http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/

he rawks
