Cheers guys. I'm confident enough that I'm going to pan fry a small bit to taste it and see how they are. Going by colour, firmness of the flesh and the gills running the full length to where they were growing from the tree. Also I left them on a dark plate to get a spore print and it's got a lilac tint to it so from the evidence they're oysters (to me at least anyway).
