Oyster Mushrooms are shell-shaped with little or no stems. The cap flattens with age often becoming split or wavy at the edge. Caps come in various shades of grey or brown, sometimes very pale, sometimes dark. They measure up to 150mm across. They grow in groups on fallen trunks and stumps of deciduous trees.
