oyster mushrooms

I found some mushrooms on a tree up in the adirondack moutains and my grandpa has alway describe a certain type of mushroom to me as having fins on the bottom and they were white or tan in color and they grew stacked on eachother. So i found some mushrooms that seem to match that decription but i dont want to eat them unless i know for sure. I was wondering if there were any look alike oyster mushrooms or if any one had pictures of what an edible tree mushroom looks like. Thanks for the help!

Oyster mushrooms are usually white but turn a little yellowish when they age a little. They have with fins on the bottom, and grow in clumps on a tree (usually poplar around here) and like you said stacked on top of eachother. One thing you can do to tell if it is an oyster or not is to smell it. Oysters usually have an anise odor to them like licorice. One last thing that can tell you if it is an oyster is the ones here that we find almost always have little beetle on them. (To get the beetles off we usually just put them in a big bowl of salt water for an hour or two.

Oysters of beefsteaks grow good on maple or beech trees also very well,I picked one clump this summer and haven't seen any since,if you get them and there dry just sprinkle some saly on the fins and let sit a while,if they do have a lot of bugs or worms soak in salt water like you said,they are the greatest..

Little off topic but has anyone ever tried chicken of the woods ? I see it quit often at work. From what I have read its pretty good and the texture of it is just like chicken.
