Kind of. Probably an elm oyster......dont think i have ever seen anything else grow out of a box elder knot. They don't have the fragrance of a "true" oyster.....smell really earthy, gills are not decurrent, and stem is usually off set. Tastes good enough though. Go for it.....I would eat it in front of you first.....not aware of anything that is remotely poisonous that looks like that....lol.

I will probably just look at it.   you want it? up 15 feet, could throw a rope at it to get it.

Yes, those are called elm oysters.  Edible, but not very good.
