Fungi - Trying to identify the type of fungus
While walking after the rain subsided, my attention was focused on the fungus that grew in a humid place, growing in the sidelines of the former betel nut tree that had been cut down.
It still looks fresh, because the rain has just stopped. I don't know what kind of fungus this is, from looking at it and comparing it with the mushrooms I saw on Wikipedia, it looks a little bit similar to Omphalotus nidiformis, but after I looked at it for a long time, it turned out that there was a very noticeable difference.
The type of mushroom that I saw was not shaped like an umbrella that opened upwards but rather tilted downward.
It's not dry and a little wet, I don't know if it's because of the rain or the bottom part is wet.
Perhap Hivers and Fungi Lovers can identify this type of fungus that I found;

These look like oyster mushrooms to me.
I see this similarity too. so maybe a good edible fungus worth foraging, is being wasted here!

Ah, it looks very similar, what I see is a color difference that is too white when compared to Oyster which is a bit brown, or maybe because of the rain effect. I am also surprised to read that it is included in one of the most common types of mushrooms cultivated.
@qwerrie
I had no idea that this type of fungus is edible, just like you said, it is wasted here without anyone caring.
Thanks for the insight from both of you.
There is the possibility it might be an angel wing mushroom https://learnyourland.com/angel-wing-mushroom-pleurocybella-porrigens-deadly-or-not/
I prefer Angel Wing to Oyster, it looks very similar, besides its ability to decompose wood as written in the article above.
Oh man, thanks for the link. Too much information I got from there.
