I'm posting this here because it doesn't really fit anywhere else and... some of you probably know a good bit about edible/poisonous mushroom species.

I found these growing on a tree while hiking through my woods today. After researching, I'm about 99% positive it's the edible Oyster Mushroom.

Here are my pics:

And here is a link I found about the oyster shroom:

They definitely smell of anise (black licorice)-I noticed that before I even touched them-and have the decurrent gills like the link says.

Agree? Disagree? Good to go?
 
I already ate several. :) was delicious! Sauteed in light olive oil with salt, pepper, basil, and oregano seasonings.

Then I made a burrito with some in it.
