I don't remember the exact date when I first noticed this fungus growing on a tree stump beside our driveway. But it looked like two ping-pong balls that day--maybe a little smaller.
----
The next time I took notice was on May 9. It was about seven inches at the widest diameter and was very intriguing. I showed that day's photo to our fascinating photographer, Renata, who is an experienced mushroom forager, and she advised NOT to eat it.
----
By yesterday the monster was over 10 inches wide and looked like this. I blackened the background to spotlight the fungus better. A May 9 photo on the stump is going to be posted in the discussion area.
