Pleurotus pulmonarius (Summer Oyster)

I would like dedicate this summer oyster shot to one of my beloved and heartfelt friends on TN, László Kaposvari (Hormon_Manyer) who is one of the expert photographers on fungi in thanks for his lovely dedication to me and my PhD students -Mehmet (zulfu), Bahadır (bahadir) & Deniz (xTauruSx)- with two beautiful Salamander shots. Thank you Baratom for the pleasant dedication once more.

TFL and Have a nice Sunday!
Cheers,

*****************************

Commonly known also as the Indian Oyster, Phoenix Mushroom, or the Lung Oyster is very similar to Pleurotus ostreatus, the pink oyster, but has a few noticeable differences.

The caps of pulmonarius are much paler and smaller than ostreatus and develops more of a stem. Pulmonarius also prefers warmer weather than ostreatus and will appear later in the summer. Otherwise, the taste and cultivation of the two species is generally described as largely the same. It is wide-spread in temperate and subtropical forests throughout the world and generally found on hardwoods and conifers.

Ecology: Saprobic; growing in shelf-like clusters on dead and living wood of hardwoods; causing a white rot; beginning in summer (unlike Pleurotus ostreatus) but continuing into fall and winter.
Cap: 2-12 cm; convex, becoming flat or somewhat depressed; lung-shaped (hence its Latin name) to semicircular, or nearly circular if growing on the tops of logs; somewhat greasy when young and fresh; fairly smooth; whitish to beige or pale tan, usually without dark brown colorations; the margin inrolled when young, later wavy and, unlike Pleurotus ostreatus, very finely lined.
Gills: Running down the stem; close or nearly distant; whitish.
Stem: Sometimes absent or rudimentary, but often present; 1-7 cm long and up to 1.5 cm thick; eccentric or lateral--or central.
Flesh: Thick; white.
Odor and Taste: Odor distinctive like oyster mushrooms and taste mild.
Spore Print: Whitish, grayish or lilac.
Microscopic Features: Spores 7-10 x 2.5-5 µ; smooth; cylindric to long-elliptical.

Bayram Hocam, bir mantara el atmamıştınız:) Herkese uygun dedikasyon için de arşivde bolca malzeme var anlaşılan.,
Hakkını vermişsiniz. Alan derinliği, lamekllerdeki detaylar ve kompozisyon çok güzel olmuş.
Elinize sağlık. Türkçe adı yokmu? merak ettim.

Hi MF Bayram,
excellent and special shot of this fungi.
Very sharp and very detailed at the gills. nice bokeh too.
Lovely presentation of this nature, the moist fungi.

regards,
Foozi

A good and VERY sharp reminder of similar from my childhood as my father would pluck them, inscribe them and have me do so as well, then dry them and they last over 50 years...wonderful environmental quality to the image from the Prof!

Hello Bayram!

"Very good mushroom" Surely Lazlo (one of Dr. fungus) will be delighted with this picture.

Impressive as it is the "highlight" of the fungus, you've chosen a good POV to show. The composition is close to the artistic.

Beautiful set, great picture.

Greetings,

Jesús

Hi bayram. You have taken this with a good POV looking up at the under side of the large fungi. good detail and natural colours. Well done TFS.
Nick..

Hi Barea,

Thank You very, very much for Your kind gesture, and sorry for noticing the pic only now - I just came home from the mountains. Unfortunately, very few fungi, and no salamander at all today. :(

Wonderful macro shot, crystal clear sharpness, perfect composition. Absolutely a photo to be proud of, and I truly hope You'll share more of Your fungi shots in the future, because this one is simply fantastic. Warm congratulations, and again, thousand thanx for Your heartfelt dedication.
Although Pleurotus pulmonarius used to grow in summer here (I also saw some specimens today), sometimes, in warmer countries, it may come up in April or May, too - for my greatest surprise I also met a bunch in this April, too, but they weren't as nice as Your specimens.

I hope everything goes well with You and Your PhD students, I wish You the very best from Hungary, László

Good morning Bayram Dostum!
A superb capture of the Summer Oyster mushroom, the POV showing details of both surfaces with excellent sharpness, lighting and DOF. It looks like an edible species that I have tasted.
Nice tribute to our expert fungi photographer, László.
Thanks and have a good week,
Cheers,
Ivan

Hi Bayram,
A very good shot of this Pleurotus from good POV with good exposure and detail.
I thought the leaf in the foreground a bit distracting so I have put a version with it cloned out in the workshop for you to see.
(A bit of a rush job,but not too bad)
Thanks for sharing this beautiful fungi.
Cheers
Steve

Çok ilginç, ve ilginç olduğu kadar da büyük bir mantar türü.
Harika bir paylaşım olmuş Bayram Hocam,
ellerinize sağlık...

Merhaba Bayram
this mushrooms have the right name, they looks really like oysters
wonderful sharp shot taken from a great POV, lovely colors of the fungi and BG
Have a good night
Jacqueline

Very well seen and presented, Big bro!
I love the notes...Yes, I thought it was a Pink Oyster at first glance, but then reading your note was very enlightening, as usual.
Cheers!
