Hi! I am a newbie on this site and a novice mushroom hunter. I harvest a variety of wild mushrooms and just came across this one. All my research and field book "Audubon Society guide to North American wild mushrooms" leads me to believe this is a Hericium species, most likely the bears head tooth mushroom. Has anyone else come across this particular mushroom and can help me positively ID it? Thanks!
Got a positive ID on another site, definitely a "bears head tooth" ; Hericium species. Seafood of the forest!!! Sauteed them up and had them for dinner...yummy, yummy
