I was thinking it's probably pleurotus pulmonaris. But i'm not very sure.

“One of the key differences between the Phoenix oyster mushroom and the “true oyster,” P. ostreatus, is their fruiting season. The Phoenix prefers warmer weather – it usually fruits from April through September, appearing as soon as the weather transitions out of winter.

Pleurotus ostreatus, on the other hand, is a cool-season mushroom that won’t fruit until the weather cools down. This is an excellent way to determine which oyster mushroom you’ve found initially.”

I don’t think this is an oyster at all. I think the mushroom is an elongated-pored member of the polypores. I am not sure whom exactly.
