Michigan Oyster Mushrooms

Pleurotus populinus has a white to pinkish buff to orange gray, fan or oyster shaped cap that ranges from 1 ½ to 8 in. (3 ¾ to 20 cm.) broad by 1 ½ to 5 in. ( 3 ¾ to 12.5 cm.) wide. The white to cream colored, close to almost distant gills are slightly decurrent running a small way down the stem. The cap margin becomes finely scalloped with age.
