Are they oyster mushrooms, and if do do you eat them?

I’m sorry, Christina, but I am not an expert on mushrooms. I tried to search on internet for fungi pictures, but so far have found nothing that resembles the ones in my garden. I took the photo several days ago and it was growing out of a deteriorating stump. Today, it has disintegrated…probably from the freezing weather. I would love to have someone identify it for me. I don’t eat mushrooms that I can’t identify as safe.

If it was on a dead stump it probably was an oyster mushroom, I’ll check the Latin name and get back to you.

Here’s the link to Wikipedia. but look at other images, there are lots on line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus We used to collect them regularly when we lived in the UK a nearby woodland was a great resource after the one and only hurricane that happened while we lived there.

What lovely winter flowers! That photo catches the grace of curves and softness of form as beautifully as the Hosta photo you’ve just posted.
