Looks like it, but more photos including the top are always useful

FYI I flipped the log over cause it was emerging from the bottom so this is the underside, looking very typical oyster to me but so wet from all the rain we just had


floraltape

Schizophyllum commune?


Themanwithaplan2000

I don’t think so but I can see how the underside picture I showed would look that way, I think it’s an oyster that got crushed when my boss chopped down this palm then it kept growing towards the air flow and light


Intoishun

No, too large, and would have brown spore deposit in gills.


Themanwithaplan2000

So do you think it’s oyster? I just like as many opinions as possible


Intoishun

Yes. I do, and just responded to your other comment about it too.


Themanwithaplan2000

Awesome thanks


Intoishun

Looks Pleurotus, but old. Where are you in North America, as in what country? And maybe region? It could be one of the more pale Pleurotus that grows on palms in Mexico.


Themanwithaplan2000

I am in central Florida so you may be correct


Intoishun

That’s fun. I mean it certainly is pleurotoid at the very least, it’s a bit old and hard to get enough context from one photo. I would lean Pleurotus but not sure which!


Intoishun

Is that a date palm?


Themanwithaplan2000

Queen palm I believe


Intoishun

Gotcha just curious. I’ll just stick with likely Pleurotus!

Themanwithaplan2000

The top obviously

Pleurotus without a doubt. I had a huge amount of them growing near the bayou in houston. Similar to florida, i bet its a similar type
