Are there any dangerous pink oyster mimics?

This is going to sound silly, but out of an abundance of caution...

I have grown pink oyster mushrooms by buying spawn from a legit seeming vendor online and injecting it into a bag of hardwood sawdust, letting the mycellium run, then fruit, and behold:



If you try to grow pink oyster mushrooms and get something that looks like this, I'm fairly confident that they are in fact pink oyster mushrooms. But since mushrooms can kill you, I want to ask if there is any way this could be anything else that could be dangerous.

Interesting question: Can I trust the people that grew my spawn for me?

I tend to eat oyster mushrooms as found in the wild, because they have unique traits and they lack poisonous doppelgangers.

May I ask the name of the spawn producer?

These articles may help. From the greedy vegan. and this one mushroom appreciation.

Sure. The Mushroom Lab. (https://themushroomlab.co)

For what it's worth, I cooked them up last night with butter, shallots, and good salt and they were delicious, and I seem to still be here.

Oysters tend to be a 'safer' mushroom compared to others because they do not have many, if-any, look-alikes that will create injury to people.

For your future knowledge, the ones that are closest look-alikes that I am familiar with are the following.

A. Jack-O-Lantern Mushrooms



B. False Oyster Mushroom



C. Angel Wing Mushroom



I always recommend purchasing mushroom spawn/spores from reputable dealers which then significantly reduces chances of 'oopsies'. It is always good to double check though!

Yum......

Those a pretty clearly pink oysters, and there's not a lot you could mistake them for given the color. I'm not familiar with the vendor, but chances are they're using a strain from another grower, not one that they isolated from the wild, since pink oysters aren't easily found in the wild.

Same question, but now about these Lion's Mane fruits:
