Sure.
A very small stem or central stem does not mean the mushroom is fake and poisonous, in the pleurotus family. A small, almost stemless, stalk is what youre looking for. There are no poisonous pleurotus mushrooms. The "fake pearl oyster" you speak of is likely the elm oyster. They are not poisonous, just not as tasty as true winter or summer oyster. Elm oysters are slightly whiter and have more of an individual stem for every mushroom cap. They also do NOT have decurrent gills.
True oysters have decurrent gills. Look at picture in link below. I found these this morning. The gills dont stop at cap, they run down into the tiny stem. Find stacked mushrooms (resembling oysters) with decurrent gills on dead hardwood and they will be edible.
Oysters most commonly grow on dead willows, but they also grow on other dead hardwoods as well. ID the mushroom first, not the tree.
Avoid mushrooms that look like oysters if it is a mushroom by itself. They should be stacked together. Avoid mushrooms with caps covered in hair or algae. These are likely not oysters.
Always pick mushrooms above your high water line. They can absorb a lot of toxins.

Oyster mushrooms. Also delicious

I know a guy that found a large lion mane in tangipahoa Parish somewhere. He’s been to the area since and hasn’t found another

Southwest Mississippi. In the Loess bluffs near Port Gibson. It was on the side of a hickory tree that had an injury. We scraped it with a tractor making food plots. And the mushroom was growing out of the injury.

Lions Mane. Nice find. It will grow on the same tree every year so go back next year.

There is a Facebook group, “ Louisiana wild edibles”, that has been very active lately. Lots of mushrooms being harvested. Check it out.

Is that where you are from? Pretty familiar with that part of the Trace. Beautiful area.

How yall feeling about the 30,000 jobs for the liquid natgas plant coming to town? Will be interesting how they staff it seeing as maybe there are maybe 20 people in the PG area that are moderately qualified.

Not that far from Jackson. Lots of people live in Port Gibson that work in Jackson. This is only bad for the cyclist that use this section of the Trace to train.

There are only 9000 people in Claiborne county and about 7000 in Jefferson County.
I have heard that number -- 30,000 jobs -- and that is an absolute joke. My guess is that if it happens the construction jobs might peak at a few thousand, max. Permanent jobs might be a few hundred, max.
It is literally the most isolated, difficult to access, sparsely populated, lacking infrastructure, etc spot you can imagine. I have no idea why they are even talking about putting it there.

my post was more in jest than anything.
The mayor of PG and the HESCO CEO both eventually set the record straight about the 25-30k jobs and admitted thats the potential number if the entire Trump Admin "opportunity zone" is utilized. Though they seemed to let that bit of disinformation float around before they admitted it will "only" be about 700 jobs. Though some podunk elected officials are still erroneously claiming the highest numbers.
But even that aside the whole operation looks to be a scam. I don't know how they are making money off of it but it would be interesting to know. There is a lot of red flags/suspicious stuff.
First being, like you say " most isolated, difficult to access, sparsely populated, lacking infrastructure, etc spot you can imagine". Isn't that area just hills and hollers? The typical loess washing patterns? Thats going to be a lot of dirt work to get the land usable.
HESCO as a company and the CEO have almost zero internet presence.
The main contact number for the company rings a law office that specializes in immigration in Houston.
The MS Development Ath is sceptical of the companies plans. They have reached out to them requesting info to possibly provide tax/state incentives but HESCO hasn't communicated with them. IIRC, The CEO said they didn't need any assistance from the MDA because of the incentives already of the fedgov opportunity zone. I'm no expert business man but I can't imagine a company basically leaving money on the table.
There were a few other small things I can't recall.
FYI, most of that info comes from a feller named Peter Rinaldi on FB. He's a freelance conservative reporter once from the area.
All that said I hope I'm wrong and something does come of it. Would be great for depressed town like PG and the others that surround it. Though I would be a little sad to see that awesome rugged land be developed and tamed.
