This mushroom was in my fall woods. Don't know what it is called and couldn't find it anywhere. oaf course I am only in my eighties and I have a lot of time to keep looking. I refer to it as my stalactite mushroom.

Pretty great there Spike. I look forward to seeing more of your photos from the forest.
That looks to be "Lion's mane" Hericium spp. perhaps Hericium americanum.

Thanks for the up date and a name. It really surprised me when I saw it. There were several along a log and they seemed to appear so quickly and the were gone so soon. I could have easily missed them all so easily and I am one who people always asked, How did you ever see that?
