A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Light brown corky texture, very large, growing on a dead tree stump, gilled, edges “droop” downwards.
A dead tree stump still attached to the ground, has other types of fungi growing on the wood. Eastern TN
I think it’s some kind of Pleurotus.

Nice find ,i think they are oyster mushrooms,probably Pleurotus ostreatus,but in this stage of decay is dificult to have 100% sure.You can id them as Pleurotus sp.
Hello reporter.of.nature and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/219... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
