We had the family in Lynchburg, VA for Thanksgiving and in the morning I took Cooper on a scouting walk for some deer in the city limits. We ended up finding these good looking oyster mushrooms on this old dead log.
These were the first oysters I found and just to be sure, I took a spore print. A spore print is simply placing the mushrooms (cap side up) on any surface to allow you to see the expected color of the spore and covering them (with a pot, bowl, etc) to create a controlled environment. In this case, oysters have a pearly to white spore print and this was confirmed on the purple construction paper in the morning.
