Fungus of unusual size... Growing in shade of large oak trees.
In shade beneath large oak tree.
About 24 inches in diameter...16 inches high...growth pattern looks almost like a rose in bloom.
If this is Sulfur Shelf, this is the first time I have seen it growing on the ground, instead of on the side of a tree. It is quite beautiful. If it is there later, I might try to harvest and preserve it.
Please verify. There are several similar species that are all called chicken of the woods
