Lion's-mane Mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)Observer
cotinisDescription
I photographed this life form recently, and was intrigued by this particular frame. It reminds me of any number of things, but is hard to pin down, so I am making it into one of my infrequent quiz photos. After any interested friends have responded, I will upload other photos that will make the ID clear.
Edit-1. I ran it through the AI suggestions, and it is flummoxed--interesting!
Edit-2. See comments. This is a Lion's Mane mushroom, Hericium erinaceus. I have reordered the photos to show the widest shot first.
