Hericium erinaceus
Went on a fungus hunt at Red Top Mountain State park after a rainy week in November (2015).
Found growing in mixed wood forest, growing out of the wound of a living hardwood tree (cannot remember what species, unfortunately).

This is my favorite to eat. Has a wonderful texture and flavor. I'd rather have this than morels anyday.
Yes, flowntheloop...GREAT FIND, indeed!! :)
@SarahWhitt : Pretty cool, right!? It was my first time observing this fungus, and I was in awe!
Well....that is INTERESTING!!!
The name certainly suits it!! :)
