Pheasant back mushroom

This was deep in the woods. We saw them growing out of a couple of different trees. They are big. I would guess each one was 10-12" across. They are edible too but only when they are less than half this size.

They are quite big and I wonder why it is not edible anymore.

Lovely find - but have to agree with Babs about eating it.. :)

Oh wow! Isn't that beautiful and the mottled pattern does look like a bird's feathers.

At 12" they must look massive. Beautiful capture of them. Excellent focusing.
