Negative, but on the right track, right kingdom.
Remember, edible.

Further research is showing me that carnivory is more widespread in these types of "plants" than I initially thought.

It is also widespread in cultivation.
It really likes fallen trees, especially Beech.

Negative. Although I have been searching for morels, no luck yet. Might be a hair too early for them in great numbers.

It grows on dead trees themselves, not around them.
It shares its name with an (alleged) aphrodisiac.

Negative. That one grows on caterpillars in the Himalayas, not dead trees in temperate and subtropical forests.

Recap.
1. Grows in temperate and subtropical forests worldwide.
2. We've already established it a carnivorous fungi.
3. Grows on dead trees, especially likes Beech.
4. Edible.
5. Widespread in cultivation.
6. Shares its name with an (alleged) aphrodisiac. (Personally, I don't think it's an aphrodisiac, but I do eat them. Especially with a little lemon and Tabasco)
7. New clue: in the order Agaricales.

Yes! The oyster mushroom.
In all my years as a Chef, I never knew it was carnivorous. I only knew that it was a flavorful mushroom that held up to simmering sauces, such as the Chicken Cacciatore I mentioned earlier.
Mo_carnivore, the torch is yours. Run with it son!

Dadgummit! I literally read about them being carnivorous yesterday!

That was a good one, Chef!
