'''''Sarcomyxa serotina''''' is a [[species]] of [[fungus]] in the family [[Sarcomyxaceae]]. Its recommended English name in the UK is '''olive oysterling'''.<ref name="BMS"/> In North America it is known as '''late fall oyster''' or '''late oyster mushroom'''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Arora |first=David |title=Mushrooms demystified: a comprehensive guide to the fleshy fungi |date=1986 |publisher=Ten Speed Press |isbn=978-0-89815-169-5 |edition=Second |location=Berkeley}}</ref> [[Basidiocarp|Fruit bodies]] grow as greenish, overlapping fan- or oyster-shaped [[pileus (mycology)|caps]] on the wood of both coniferous and deciduous trees. The [[lamella (mycology)|gills]] on the underside are closely spaced, bright orange yellow, and have an [[adnation|adnate]] attachment to the [[stipe (mycology)|stipe]]. It produces a yellow [[spore print]]; [[spore]]s are smooth, [[amyloid (mycology)|amyloid]], and measure 4–6 by 1–2&nbsp;[[micrometre|μm]].<ref name="McKnight 1998"/>
The species is considered to be either edible or inedible, with the taste ranging from mild to bitter. Research has revealed that two separate species exist, ''Sarcomyxa serotina'' and ''[[Sarcomyxa edulis]]'' (unknown in Europe).<ref name="Dai2003"/> The latter is cultivated for food in China and Japan.<ref name="Tian2021"/>
