It is one of the few choice mushrooms that fruits in cool weather, often after the first autumn frosts and through mild winter spells when temperatures sit around 5 to 15 C.

It grows on dead and dying hardwood, especially beech, poplar, willow, oak and aspen, appearing on standing trunks, fallen logs and stumps rather than on the ground. It favours damp deciduous and mixed woodland, parks and riverside trees where dead wood is plentiful.
Keep fresh caps in a paper bag in the fridge for up to about five days, avoiding sealed plastic which makes them slimy. They dry well in a dehydrator or warm airy spot, and cooked oysters can be frozen; raw freezing tends to make them watery.
Tear into strips and pan-fry hard in butter or oil until the edges crisp and brown, then season with salt and a little garlic. They also work well in stir-fries, folded through risotto or pasta, or added to soups and stews where their firm texture holds up. Cook them thoroughly as they are not eaten raw.
Can be confused with the angel’s wings (Pleurocybella porrigens), which is white, thinner and grows on conifer wood and has caused poisoning, so check the substrate and colour. The mild bitter oysterling (Panellus) and lung oyster are smaller and less fleshy but not dangerous.
