I'm a Master Gardener for Isanti County and received a call today on our Yard and Garden Line from a woman who has mushrooms growing on a dead stump in her yard. She has cut them off and washed them (photos attached) and would like assistance identifying them. She said they have a strong licorice (anise) smell. In her research she believes they are Oyster Mushrooms. Does someone at the U of M have expertise on mushrooms and can correctly identify this mushroom? She would like to eat these if they are edible.
