Have this growing out around my oak tree. What is it and is it edible.? If so how is a good way to eat it? Thanks

Google image search says Hen of the woods, but I'm not so sure.

Glad this wasn’t a photo of a moldy and necrotic toe like I was expecting…

Those are found in the classifieds.

Possibly ringless honey mushrooms. Too old to be good eating.

A local nature center is having a fungi identification walk this Saturday. I hope to make it. A local biology professor leads a guided walk through the Wesselman Woods old growth forest.

Yeah my neighbor's tree across the street looks really bad with these.
I'm pretty sure the tree got hit by lightning a year or to back.

Now those do look like Chicken of the Woods rather than Hen of the Woods.

Ringless honeys, I believe. I just ate and dehydrated some of these...



FYI - l'd go slow on eating piles of these. More concern for gastric upset than morels or chicken of the woods.

Info and my post in another 'shroom thread ten days ago...
