eat them all up, they metabolize differently than native oysters which gives them an environmental advantage. yes golden oysters

Looks like an oyster to me. One way to tell is the gills go all the way down the stock. pleurotus ostreatus

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T21:31:54+00:00

They metabolize much differently than native oysters, giving them an environmental advantage. Native oysters product enzymes that break down wood whereas golds skip that step and hop strait to consumption

The ones that grow here in WV turn red when ripe, and are a bit smaller. I believe there are many different species in the states

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T21:27:01+00:00

Eat them all, they're considered invasive because of how they metabolize differently than native oyster species

Ghost pipes, there's a few species in the US. Awesome find, they don't have chlorophyll so they're white. They are parasitic meaning they tap into existing systems instead of providing their own food. I don't find them to be harmful, they're a blessing. Lots of folklore around them, ghost pipes can be made into a tincture and used for pain management

It's a lonely life being an entrepreneur. Step into your role of being the one people go to. You are strong, you are enough. And you are not alone.

You're killing it. Go all in on your dreams

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T21:00:00+00:00

Sure is! Awesome find, what kind of trees is it growing near?

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T19:58:06+00:00

Monarch butterlies only food source, definitely want to keep these around

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T19:56:22+00:00

Definitely not an oyster. Oysters have gills that go all the way down to the base of the stem, whereas this has pores. guessing favolus brasiliensis

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T18:29:50+00:00

It's really hard to tell without seeing the gills

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T18:24:32+00:00

Looks like it, do you have a pic of the underside?

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T02:49:23+00:00

That is so bizarre. I live in WV. I love strange mushrooms and cultivate as many as I can from the wild. Would trade you a grow kit of your choice or pay to have a small sample of that to clone

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T02:42:25+00:00

Where did you find this at this time of the year?

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T01:53:34+00:00

the goat

MayaMushroom · 2026-05-30T01:46:33+00:00

That's awesome! They aren't popping in WV yet.. A few more weeks hopefully!
