We only have two kinds that can be found this time of year.
The oysterscroom in your picture is one, but I don't care for it. It has a consistency too much like meat, for me to find it palatable.
The other one is "velvet foot" flammulina velotipes. The horse chestnut trunk I took down yesterday was covered in those.
Edible, but so is cardboard, and they taste about the same IMO.
So it is slim pickings untill spring.
What is the one in your first picture?
Looks like some kind of lactarius.
I ain't exactly a mycophile, I just like to know the names of everything I come across in the woods: trees, plants, scrooms, insects, you name it.

the first pic i haven't identified yet, some kind of agaricus i think. i tend to avoid those. funny, i like the oysters for the same reason you dislike them. i love iding the things i find in the woods, and i really get a kick out of finding wild edibles.
