Re: Is this an oyster mushroom?

Hello Muscardinus,
1 looks a bit like the Pleurotus cornucopiae, if you look closely you can see the gills appearing all round the stem even though it appears roughly excentric (off centre).Colour starts white going a golden/light honey colour as they mature then expire. Judging buy the absence of bark in your image i think this branch has died back. Take a look at my find and se what you think A few from today. I have to give the credit to Chris for steering me in the right direction.
I may of course be wrong and if so I'm sure a more knowledgeable member of WAB will step in and correct me.
2 could be anything from Amanita to Lepiota. Impossible without an image sorry.
Alex
