Olive oysterlings (Sarcomyxa serotina)
I remember these lovely little oysterlings were desiccated in the relatively dry weather, leaving them much tougher than their usual soft, quite gelatinous appearance.
Some field guides report that these are edible, but that’s dubious, and in any case they’re quite insubstantial.

Peeling oysterling (Crepidotus mollis)
Peeling oysterling showing the easily pulled-back cuticle that covers its cap, from which it gets its common name.

Peeling oysterling (Crepidotus mollis)
I love the tiny, delicate gills on oysterlings! Peeling oysterlings are so named because their ‘top’ side (not pictured) is covered in a thin, translucent membrane-like layer that can be fairly easily peeled off.
Some field guides warn to look out for oysterlings when gathering true oyster mushrooms, but this often seems a little like fear-mongering - oysterlings are so tiny and insubstantial, it’s incredibly doubtful anyone would mistake them for oyster mushrooms.
