Lol! Yes! The one thing I know enough about with mushrooms is not to eat them unless 100% sure. :) thanks again.

You are welcome. There is always something to learn about mushrooms, even for those with experience use caution when trying to ID. You were wise not to eat this. Enjoy finding new fungi.

Thanks akmurals, I don't know much about mushrooms.

This is not pleurotus. Oyster mushrooms grow on dead wood. They do not grow upright from the forest floor.https://www.mushroomexpert.com/pleurotus_ostreatus.html
