Elm Oysters usually grow individually or in small clusters on elm and beech
trees. It closely resembles other oyster mushrooms, with a shelf like shape that
can become quite large, ranging from 4-15cm. However, it produces larger fruit
bodies that other Oysters and is argued to be better in flavor and texture. It has a
white to light grey or brown fruiting body, depending on the substrate and
environment it is grown in.
