Description
Sparassis crispa.
Good to eat if you don't mind a mouthful of grit, very tricky to clean!
Found at the base of conifers, which is where this one is, but as you see surrounded by american oak leaves fallen from nearby ornamentals.

Superb color and detail but I will pass on ingesting it. Looks like it might eat ME.

Call me fussy, but I'll pass on the grit. It's beautiful, though! Rather like seaweed. (I won't eat that, either. Vile stuff.) Some things were just meant to be admired. :P

So beautiful, Andrea, an outstanding pic. I've seen this kind years ago, but I guess it's very rare here.
