Late Fall Oyster mushroom (Panellus serotinus)

In the woods below snowline is Late Fall Oyster (Panellus serotinus). The inset (lower left) shows the underside of an adjacent mushroom pair. Although it is not considered a "shelf mushroom", the very-short off-center stem and growth on dead hardwood sure makes it look that way to me.
