I found these mushrooms after a lash of heavy rains for two or three consecutive days, in chennai this october.
It grew in my backyard. I was curious to know what type of mushrooms they are.
I googled and found that these can be oyster mushrooms which belong to a variety called Pleurotus.
Pleurotus is a genius of gilled mushrooms which includes one of the most widely eaten mushrooms,
P.ostreatus. Species of Pleurotus may be called oyster, abalone, or tree mushrooms, and are some
of the most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in the world
Most species of Pleurotus are white-rot fungi on hardwood trees, although some also decay conifer wood
