This is a variety of a polyspore fungus known as Turkey Tail. They grow on old wood stumps. I had some right outside my front door for months. They are edible and highly medicinal, having strong anti-cancer properties. We are lucky to have them grow so easily around here considering the high cancer risks we have in this area. Though tough to chew, they can be eaten raw.
