my first thought was that this was a young laetiporus but upon closer inspection...
it was growing on the roots of a nearby tree stump in SE PA near the edge of a lake
the surface was finely hairy there was no gills or pores underneath (!) i cut into it and it was fibrous and pure white inside (reminded me of laetiporus or meripilus) slight, pleasant odor
i want to call this abortive chicken of the woods


and then there's these specimens at a distance, i thought i'd found pleurotus of some type but these guys have pores instead of gills and they are all wonky and wavy and weird each one is the size of a sandwich plate

the underside:

enhance (deckard voice - [on] off):

finally, in the field i thought i had a xerula radicata, took a quick pic when i got home, it hit me this has a ring and the cap is scaly it is three apples tall


long time no see, everyone

The third one is a Macrolepiota species.
Regarding the other two, southern polypores can be hard. More pics would help, especially pics of the underside of 1, and a pic that is more zoomed out. Also note what kind of wood it is on, and if they stain any kind of color.

RE: #1
Here's another photo.

I didn't photograph the underside. There's no pore surface. I did collect a piece of it and I just now looked at it, it looks exactly like the top only less hairy. No bruising. Tribble of the woods?
I can't say what wood the first was on, it was the barest of stumps.
The second was on a dead log. I am just starting to learn how to ID living trees; I'm hopeless with decaying logs.

Are you sure the first one lacks pores on the underside? It looks a little like Abortiporus.

I think I must have missed the pore surface when I cut off the edges. It certainly does seem to be abortiporus. Matches Kuo's descripition and looks like his first photo. Thanks a lot. You ARE great!

Nice seeing you post again dude, I expect many good shots from our old stomping grounds.

Yeah jackalope, you need to post a whole lot more! The second one looks like Trametes hirsuta to me, but I've got to make a disclaimer that ALL Trametes look like T. hirsuta to me...

Thanks, fellas.
I'll read up on trametes hirsuta. I don't remember it being hairy, but it was showing its age - a bit of hair loss maybe.
I've been really lazy about bringing the DSLR out and about. I've got a bunch of iPhone pics that I've been dumping onto instagram: http://instagram.com/ghostfather
 ^ melanophyllum haematospermum?
I'll certainly post more frequently. Been in lurk mode. Raining like crazy, so I'll be hitting the trails in the next day or two.
