Peeling Oysterling
A small, stemless, shell- or kidney-shaped fan that grows in tiers on dead hardwood. The cap has a thick gelatinous layer under its surface, which stretches like rubber when the cap is torn. It is one of the commonest Crepidotus species in temperate regions.
Inedible and possibly poisonous; not recommended. Little is known about edibility in Crepidotus, and none should be eaten. It is too small and flabby to be worth eating. Small whitish oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus) differ in their white to lilac spore print and lack of a gelatinous cap layer.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
