I have these mushrooms on my oak stumps and all over the back acre - ones I have are more stair stepped instead of clustered and are quite beautiful - also hard as a rock. Thanks for sharing

I LOVE mushrooms!

...told ya, I live in a swamp, well, almost. If we get just a little extra moisture, whahoo... happy mushrooms! Kinda thought this one would gross you out. Look, there's even oooooze running out... hahaha! They are so cool! Last year we had one over 2 feet wide in the woods...might take a trek out there tomorrow.
