Found these a month or so ago on the base of a dead elm. The first flush(no pics) i found looked totally different. The caps were yellow and verly large. At first glance they appeared to be growing from the tree base like a shelf mushroom. then a closer looke revealed stems. also large, some almost 2 inches thick with caps over 6 inches across. they were in a clump of ten-12 and really beautiful. When i made it back to that spot almost two weeks later, they were rotten. These where fresh ones(no rain) and lookin kinda dry. I love the stem, it reminds me of a shagbark hickory.
