Oyster mushrooms are wide and flat, and they grow in big clusters on the sides of old logs and dead trees. They got their name because they look just like a bunch of oyster shells stacked on top of each other! Oyster mushrooms come in lots of pretty colors, including white, gray, pink, yellow, and even blue.

Oyster mushrooms grow on the sides of old logs and dead trees. They are one of the easiest mushrooms to grow, and some people even grow them at home in buckets or bags filled with straw. They grow so fast that you can sometimes watch them get bigger from one day to the next!
