Possible Confusion
The Pale Oyster Mushroom, Pleurotus pulmonarius, pictured, is similar but paler and should be found in Summer unlike the Grey Oyster which prefers the colder months although either can grow at any time of year and it is thought they can hybridise making ID even harder.
Oysterlings look similar but never grow more than four centimetres across.

Other Facts
The Oyster mushroom has some amazing properties one of which is that it is a carnivorous mushroom which traps and ingests nematode worms to provide it with nitrogen and other useful chemicals. The Pleurotus family contain statins which are thought to help reduce cholesterol.
Another is the fact that they have the ability to clean up pollution by hydrocarbons like petrol and oil which is quite incredible.
