FungiFriday: White Oyster Fungus

There are many shrooms that appear during the rainy season, some of which are poisonous; there are also edible ones, but the most appetizing ones are oyster mushrooms.

This is a kind of oyster mushroom that I spotted in a local forest some time ago. The white oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) belongs to the family Pleurotaceae. This fungus is common on rotten wood.

In our area, people prefer straw mushrooms to oyster mushrooms. So you will often see these mushrooms wither and rot without anyone picking them up. Maybe you want to pick it? Please come here; you can pick as much as you want.
