This harvest looks like it could have come from under the sea:
Several heads of Grifola frondosa (Hen of the woods, or Maitake) mushrooms after harvest. Pocket knife in foreground for size reference.

Most recent shroom pic from hen harvest in September 2024.
cross section slices of Grifola frondosa, aka hen-of-the-woods, or Maitake. Super good food and health mushroom!

Love finding lion's manes! Don't recall having pics of them, but I found a log full of their cousin, Hericium coralloides this fall.
"Comb tooth" coral type mushroom growing on a log in a Wisconsin forest. Autumn 2024. Hericium coralloides is a special find!

Hericium Coralloides mushroom growing from a downed log in the forest. Also called comb-tooth. Good edible when fresh and cooked.
