[Econoliveme]

@YodaPala and that is a big deal because?

[bassbugg7]

it looks like chicken of the woods. they are good to eat. not sure so dont eat them.

chicken of the woods grow from the base or trunk of a tree. often an oak tree.

they are yellow gold, grow large and in groups like hens and chicks.

[Bigsausageboy]

Ask your boyfriend what kind of mushroom it is. Since you are obviously a flamer

[ned262626]

what state do you live in?

[crazyjugglo]

[ChrisCCou812]

@crazyjugglo

Maitake is a mushroom as well

[SkatingFonzie]

thats nasty

[electronicdawg]

if its a polypore is will taste like wood. yuk

[electronicdawg]

To be sure you need to do a spore print. Then look at the spoors under a microscope. A good book to buy for identifying mushrooms is "Mushrooms Demystified" by David Aroria

[AmazinKLIDE]

you sound like mr slave

[huntr420]

its a hen of the woods aka sheepshead they are good eating i pick them all the time somtimes they are white somtimes grey

[horizanadventures]

Some people call them hen of the woods. The orientals call them maitake ! the scientific name is polypilus frondosus. It is a pore mushroom rather than gills. Meaning it has holes in the bottom, rather than slits like most species. I have gathered hundreds of this species. What alot of people dont realize is that in any givin species there can be quite a bit of variation. Especially in color ! I suggest you watch my video and you will see this exact same mushroom species and color

[apris666]

maitake sounds like "my talking mushroom" :--D

[vorkev1]

I wonder if its a hybred of hen of the woods.

[vorkev1]

i cant idenifi it but i can tell you this it may be do to the fact that wich people dount understand mushrooms can grow t anytime of the year f the suronding enviermet is right and whena mushroom grows out of seasen it will look a ittle diferent someitmes.

[patrick10001]

In my country *the Netherlands* I've seen mushrooms the size of footballs does anyone know what kind they're?

[EightOfCoins]

Yes, it's Maitake (Hen of the woods). Good find!

[drew7473]

just cook any mushroom you find with a 90% silver quarter. if the coin turns brown it is a posion :)

[Shippou1992]

looks like adam from two and a half men

[mariemorris60]

Looks just like a Black Staining Polypore to me. Meripilus sumstinei

[mariemorris60]

Looks just like a Black Staining Polypore to me.

[ZetaWatcher]

Oyster Mushrooms.

[davetista]

@ZetaWatcher i agree. before i read the comments i wanted to comment but you beat me to it.

[Treblinka2012]

i grew mushrooms one time but the Dr burned them off Damn Venereal warts,

[rybec2]

no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not hen of the woods

[MicrosoftsourceCode]

Why do Americans have to give such long boring introductions. The title says what your going to talk about yet you go through it for over a minute. No wonder people get confused.

[ovandocarter]

what was it in the end and could you eat it

[culturedprobiotics]

in the end it was a black staining polypore and I could eat it but its not supposed to be very tasty.

[ovandocarter]

@culturedprobiotics i take it that you didnt eat it then?

[ovandocarter]

@culturedprobiotics it looks like it would be a good meal.

[Nick75987]

@culturedprobiotics hey if i send me a email i send u a pick will telll me if these are oyster ones i dotn no because i only pic candle stick and coleflower ones plz help

[horizanadventures]

@Nick75987 Its not oysters. Oysters have gills not pores

[FlyKingRy]

@ovandocarter Cool, nice you found out!.

[buyerofsorts]

Happy Anniversary two days early! :)

[petejblock]

it is a black staining polypore it is edible but not very good. please do not eat any fungus that you are not sure of. check with an expert first,

[Iamsunshine61178]

WoW Steve, you are looking AMAZING!!

What are you doing!?

Oh yeah, and did you confirm the species of the mushroom?

[culturedprobiotics]

It does seem to be a black staining polypore. By the time I got the guts to try and eat some, it was pretty much past its prime. I hear its edible but not the tastiest mushroom in the world.

[dopeboylai]

You are correct it is maitake "hen of the wood"

[whitehare]

Meripilus sumstnei, or black staining polypore. Notice the black spots on the underside when you show the cut up specimin. My guide says edible. Did you try to eat any?

[xPlantpoTx]

idk about the mushroom but i sure wouldnt want that oak tree so close to my house.

did u ever find out what the mushrooms are
