I did not know the name of this fungus, only that it was a Tongue type. I was then informed it was Dryad's Saddle, an edible variety. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyporus_squamosus http://www.first-nature.com/fungi/id_guide/poriales/polyporus_squamosus.php http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/may2001.html Thanks to M J Richardson for the information
