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!

Spoke to a mycologist. These are 100% veiled oyster mushrooms, Pleurotus dryinus or laevis. Most likely the former. Very edible and delicious from what I've read. I'll update tomorrow on taste.
