This was a great find today, we weren't very hopeful as it has been a dry summer. Sparassis crispa, cauliflower fungus. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
My first thought when I saw the photograph was - coral. There are some really lovely fungi around and this is one.
Not sure if you can eat it but the guy I go with and myself don't eat anything that we find. The attach is eatable though, its called Lobster mushroom. The strange thing about it though is the orange stuff is a fungus that covers other mushrooms, mainly white ones. To if you don't know what the other is it could be trouble.
