  Are the top ones golden oysters?

  The bottom ones look like chantrelles to me

    I was thinking the bottom ones, but upon a quick search I think you may be right. They are surprisingly similarly colored.

      Yeah, top two photos are oysters, and the bottom two are chants.

      Based on the time of year and their appearance, I think the oysters were a native pink oyster variety, but your point still stands in the general case :).

      A sweet find either way! Both are quite tasty

      Chantrelles grow on soil, oysters grow on rotting wood, but sometimes oysters growing shallowly-buried roots can appear to be sprouting from the soil
