came across these jumbo shrooms today and am hoping my ID is correct. I'm thinking they're veiled oyster mushrooms but I'm willing to be wrong. They were on a rotting willow log and the biggest was about 10" in diameter.
ETA: Cooked some up for lunch and they were fantastic.

I don’t think those are oysters

The decurrent gills and funnel shape are very misleading, but the stem is a dead give away.
Oyster mushrooms don't have long stems and typically grow clustered together, attached at the base of the stem. There also appears to be a little bit of a rim skirt which is another trait that oysters don't have.
It must have rained recently because those things are huge!

I'm not risk adverse, but picking and eating wild mushrooms is something I've always thought was insane.
One of those "the juice ain't with the squeeze" things.
But please let us know how they taste. I'll live vicariously through you.
