Oyster Mushrooms on Tree

A beautiful set of oyster mushrooms growing out of an old stump, somewhere in a forgotten section of Salt Lake City.  Oyster mushrooms are edible, and considered tasty, although I will not personally be eating these.  I liked these images quite well; below I have included a slideshow of more photos of the oyster mushrooms.  Also, there are some slime-capped brown mushrooms that were sharing the space, although I have not identified them yet.  Any help would be appreciated.

The State of Utah Wine Affairs Bureau, 2008

We are happy to present the state of the Lamberti Bocca Noir grape harvest for the 2008 growing season. One of the most successful harvests in recent times, we pulled in a hair under 150 pounds of grapes, de-stemmed and crushed for 16.6 gallons of must for the initial fermentations.

This is up from 70 pounds in 2006 (a late season hail storm damaged about a quarter of that crop) and 48 pounds in 2007 (birds, heat, and ???). This year the protective nets got on early, and the vines were well maintained. For the record, Growing Degree Days (10 C base, March 1) was 3165 at time of harvest (Sept 28, 2008). Heating Degree Days (SLC station since July 1) cumulative was 27 at time of harvest compared with 7 last year. For what it's worth. More stats to come.

Likewise, a good turnout of wine grape pickers, destemmers, and stompers. More photos of the 2008 Wine Stomp can be seen below:
