I will also confirm H. erinaceus, an excellent mushroom, consider adding to this mission, http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8183.... You can check the description on my spotting for this species if interested in some of it's uses, http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/141...
Awesome spotting! I certainly agree with Hericium erinaceus.
