Polyporus squamosus
Seen them 12 inches wide. Brown. Growing in groups.
In the woods growing on stumps of dead trees. In the woods in northern indiana.
Edible??
It appears to be Polyporus squamous, which is edible although not fantastic. I don't know of any close look-alikes, however this one is unusually light coloured, so I can't be 100% confident of my identification. I would be very surprised if it was something else but it's best not to eat it to stay on the sage side.
