It's "bearded tooth" fungus.  Hericium erinaceus.

Grin It looks like a funny Dr. Seuss mushroom or a funny creature of some sort! It is beautiful too!

It’s not a Morel, that’s truer than truth.
To call it a mushroom would just be uncouther than couth.
No name fits it better than “old Bearded Tooth".

Forgive me Doctor Seuss...

The bearded tooth is also quite a delicacy if you pick it before it gets too old.  Mild delicious taste.  They're endangered in Europe, but it's OK to eat them here.

Hmmmm, might have to try it sometime.  I'm reading it tastes like lobster (not chicken!).  I'm planning to work on my fungi's this year so thanks for the start, gramps.
