Oyster mushroom I believe

Found this one behind the camper at eye level. I think it will get bigger as its only 4 inches wide.
Can anyone identify the others? The round one on the ground maybe 2 inches wide if that but there all over in the woods. The clusters maybe hard to see in the pcture.
The velvet one there was maybe 6 of those on that log.
The maitaki have not seen yet and I’m hoping the pheasant back fruits out again like it did late spring. stump was loaded with pheasant backs

The two in image 18 look like lichen. I’m looking at the whitish edge and the growth bands that are very obvious on the tops. A foamy underside would confirm this. Those in image 11 almost look like a form of sulpher shelfs but you’d need a better confirmation on that as they might be a type of oyster. The other two I’ll leave alone.

We’ve had a few meals off the oyster logs here at home. I have Italian Oyster and Grey Dove growing here but I know exactly what I have on which logs so identification here is positive.

Yeah pretty tough by the pics to be sure. Would need to see the underside to be sure on oysters. The brown topped one I believe is the resinous polypore but have never tried them. Here’s an article that appears to match:

Thanks for the input guys.
I took a closer look at the oyster like one it is waxy feel to it and its growing on an old buckthorn. No sent I can tell. I will leave it alone. A prety good picture from the underside.

The brown one sure looks like a resinous polymore. I’ll pick one to see what it looks like cut up.

I’m not aware of an oyster mushroom that doesn’t have gills that go all the way to the base. Don’t think there should be a visible stem there, but I’m not an expert either.

Yeah looks a bit off for oyster but could be. Normally doesn’t have a defined stem like that.

Here is a real oyster

I also believe this to be correct regard oyster ID. Although it very well could be a safe species, I’d stay away from the one you’ve found just to be careful unless you hear from someone with a lot of experience in mushrooming.

Thanks all.
Yea in proper daylight it sure looks suspect. Curious if it will stay the same or develope into somethig different.

I just back from the woods the resinous polypore have disappeared except 3 on the back side of the log, tuesday was when I saw them. Harvested the 3 and will give them a try. Still soft and super moist the flesh looks so tastey. I have no dought they are resinous polymore. Same flesh as the link from thewalleyechaser posted. On the same log another small bright orange mushroom just starting. After this rain things are popping all over. There are some cool colorful looking specimans out there.

For the last three years Ive seen this resinous polypore on the same log. Just not familar with sponge type of polypore. Did find a huge orange one today growing amongst a downed oak tree.

The second picture looks like a young Artist’s Conk or resin polypore as mentioned (not good to eat)

The last picture is an Aborted Entoloma (spelling) aka Pig Snout. They are pretty good to eat.

As always though, verify for yourself and don’t go off what some guy on IDO says (me).

As usual, Alan’s site has a really nice write up about it, it’s always an excellent resource for all types of foraging info in the Midwest.

Stinkhorn…you’re not gonna believe this but if you dig/brush the dirt away from the base of it there’s two, well, just google stinkhorn mushroom and see for yourself… Supposedly the “lower parts” good to eat

Maybe “good to eat” if you can stop gagging long enough from the smell of the rest of it to eat it…
