Where to look: oyster mushroom
A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.
About the species. Edible when correctly identified and cooked. In parts of northern Europe and upland Britain it can share habitat with Angel's Wings, a thinner, paler species usually found on conifers. Tree type is an important clue, but it should not be the only check.
