    The picture is too small and without knowing more specifics, it's a really difficult call. Get yourself an Audubon guide book!

    It is attached to part of a tree that had fallen in the lake. Is it edible cause at the time we were pretty hungry. We paddled all aound the lake and this was the only fungus of this type we saw. thanks



    In the late 30's the La Moille River was damed and the lake was formed. Lots of odd looking tree trunks with lots of greenery growing on the tops. This log looks like it has it's own ecosystem going on.

    Did you click on the pic? I thought it was pretty big but a little blurred. How did your fungi fest go?

    Maybe chicken of the woods, but it is really hard to tell from the photo. I would never eat anything based solely on a photo.

    Fungi Fest was a sold-out success and we have two more already scheduled for next summer and fall!

    It's a poor photo, shooting at noon with sun out blew out the hightlights with my little point and shoot. Based on my old mushroom guide(1967) I too was thinking Chicken of the Wood or maybe it's mimic, Chicken Mushroom. I'm only familiar with a few mushroom species that I would cook/eat and this is not one of them. Thanks for the imput.
