Oyster Mushrooms in Shona


On one of my whatsapp groups  there was a debate on the local name for the oyster mushrooms. I have been asking different people and I have narrowed it down to the final two that no one can seem to agree on. So oyster mushrooms in Shona is either uzutwe or nharamutanda. With the flexibility of our local languages and the different dialects it is possible that both words are right. I would still like to know from someone who is knowledgeable which  is the right term (if either of them) and what source they used to verify it. I would appreciate your help. Thanks!
