Hello! I'm not a mycologist but I am tempted to say this is black staining/giant polypore Meripilus giganteus, not hen of the woods, partly as the fronds seem much larger and thicker (based on the research I've done and also encountering both in person)

Thanks for sharing that. I'll pass that on to dave who I made the video with and look again. The Meripilus is not a species I'm familiar with. I can tell you that we ate this mushroom and it was fine with no ill effects. If I do discover there is a misidentification here then I will update this post.

Is this not blackening or giant polypore?

Do you have the latin names for those and I'll check my field guides just to be 100% sure

@@WoodlandClassroom I knew they grow around the world, but I didn't realize that they could look so different in different places. I wonder if there might be more than one species of Grifola.

There might well be, I'm not sure about that. Always check the latin name to ensure we're all talking about the same species. @@jpdenk

@@WoodlandClassroom , yes I always do. I prefer using the scientific binomials but most people prefer common names, so I have to familiarize myself with common names too. I'm an old geezer who has been interested in mycology and wild edibles for over 50 years. I picked my first Grifola frondosa in 1972. 🙂

I found one of these the other week and misinterpreted it as a giant polypore

I hope this video helped you understand the difference. It's certainly worth knowing your common bracket fungi if you're going to be foraging this one. Good luck.
