Oyster Fungus?

[Rock Monkey]

Hi All

 

Trying to ID this bracket fungus on a Poplar, I'm thinking Oyster Fungus but looking for some input from someone with more knowledge than me! The tree was Pollarded some time ago by the look of it but the re-growth is not that vigorous so very little weight in the crown apart from the stem itself. 

 

Any thoughts greatly appreciated! 

 

Thanks

I would agree it's some form of oyster mushroom. I would suggest Veiled Oyster, Pleurotus dryinus, rather than what I would regard as Oyster Mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus.

 

Here's some info, you could try a spore print.
