Massive! These polypores get all kinds of big. They're edible, but only palatable when very (very!) young.

Fungi or a giant's petrified foot🤔😮. I didn't even know red belted polypores could get this big, stunning! Found in the #Adirondacks last spring.

A massive grouping of resinous polypores. I tried them for the first time last year - not great, but definitely edible as long as you get the very young, soft edges. Super dense mushroom! 🍄

Fittingly named Yellow Foot, this relative of the chanterelle is also edible. It's not as tasty but fruits in massive groupings so it's easy to collect a meal's worth 🍄𝗬𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲 (𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘢𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘴)

Mama and baby scaly vases 🥰🍄. They look passingly like chanterelles to the untrained, very hopeful eye. And, of course, every year I find way more of these than actual chanterelles 🤣🤦‍♀️
