Too bad the puffballs were too far gone for eating. I love those gray oysters, i found some growing from a willow tree once and they were the best tasting oysters I've ever had, slight hint of sweetness to them with a lighter less soggy texture compared to white oysters.

I was told (thats someone else's experience, not mine) that the harder the wood on which the oysters grows, the smaller its fruiting bodies, but they are denser and tastier. Oysters grown on soft wood or grown on an artificial substrate have a less dense texture, they are less crunchy, and have less taste and aroma comparing to "wild" oyster mushrooms that grow on oaks or mulberries or silvery oak trees. i thought you might find it intresting. so, substrate does matter!
