Very nice looking cluster of oysters ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks for the update! My observations from these photos:

  • as was evident in the first photo, these mushrooms have a membranous partial veil which typically leaves a ring on the stem
  • these mushrooms have whitish spores as you can see on the caps of lower mushrooms
  • the gills are marginate (the edge of each gill is a different color than the face)
  • the cap margins start inrolled and frequently become wavy and are somewhat striated (have little lines where the gills are)

Given these features, I still think they're an Armillaria sp.. Compare A. cepistipes which is said to sometimes have marginate gills.

Thanks for getting some more to share. I am throwing my hat in with the Armillaria from whoever said that yesterday(veil and white spores), I'll do some digging tonight though as I am not familiar with this part of the world.
