Fungi Ident please.I am getting into this subject so please can any of you tell me what this is and can you eat it? It looks like loads of oysters sticking out from a tree stump. The underside is white.
Cheers

Hi W,
Since it is around supper time I thought I'd better send a quick response to say that you cannot eat it . Well , you could try I suppose -- I don't think it is actually poisonous .
I recognise it but the name escapes me . It will take me a while to find my book and post my best guess at its i/d . You will still be chewing the first mouthfull , no matter how long I take !
Sorry for the banter , it is a valid question and the pic is very helpful . Anyone who is into collecting fungi should never be bashfull about asking so , any newcomers to the hobby , please do not let my slightly drole sense of humour put you off . You will see that even those who have been doing it for years can get into quite deep debates about identification and degrees of safety . It is worth it -- at least 2 quite common species will kill !
( I only just realised that you can click on the pic to make it full screen-sized. Now that is clever ! )
