Oppose - Was any microscopy done to confirm this ID? Stereum ostrea is not distinguishable from the widely distributed Stereum hirsutum (also known as the "false turkey tail") without micro work. Sasata (talk) 15:37, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Investigating further, I'm not sure this species is even found in Europe. I have Courtecuisses's (1999) Mushrooms of Britain and Europe, Laessoe's (2002) Mushrooms (which describes European species) and Gruenert & Reid's (1995) Field Guide to Mushrooms of Britain and Europe, and none of them mention this species, but they all have S. hirsutum.

If it's not distinguishable without micro work, does it really reduce from the EV? Anyways if it was the other species the picture would have looked the same. By the way, the article may need some work, because it mentions this species as "false turkey-tail". Tomer T (talk) 18:29, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's a picturesque example of the S. hirsutum–S. ostreaspecies complex, but it's misleading to pass it off as the latter when we're not even sure if that species is found in the location where the picture was taken! Sasata (talk) 07:02, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now, per Sasata. I suggest that this nomination is put on hold until we have worked this out. J Milburn (talk) 11:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Whether or not this should be an FP is clear. However, this should not run on the MP until identification is certain. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:02, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
File has been renamed to Stereum hirsutum and image has been moved from the S. ostrea article. Julia\talk 17:22, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
