That would be better if followed with brownies for dessert.

We did a bunch of mushroom hunting while I was a student at FSU. I dont think
they were poisonous but they made everything look funny for a while.
Good in soup on test day.

What I mean is that in regards to the oyster mushroom, there are no

species to hunt.
Oysters, Black trumpets, Chicken of the Woods, Hen of the Woods, Dryad's
Saddle...all are great for beginners to find as there are no poisonous
lookalikes.
Coral mushrooms are great eating as well and easy to identify, but some
people report some loose bowel syndrome after eating them, so your experience
may vary.
Chanterelles and Puffballs are pretty easy to identify too and they are
great eating as well...however, each can be mistaken for ones you don't want...
The Jack O' Lantern can fool people who pick Chanterelles...and they pay
for it with nasty gut cramps, vomiting, etc.
The button stage of many Amanita species (the Destroying Angel, for
example) can look like puffballs so that is why it's very important to slice
what you think are puffballs in half. They should be solid white. If they even
remotely have what looks like a mushroom shape inside, throw it out. In those
cases, eating the wrong thing could very well kill you.
The absolute best thing one can do if they are interested in mushrooms is
to study a lot about them. I have many great titles at home that help out with
that.
Remember...when in doubt, throw it out.

The great thing about oyster mushrooms is that there's pretty much
nothing that looks like them that will hurt you. Given the right conditions
they grow all year around.
