Hericium coralloides?
I hate to keep bothering people here and I have ordered a book, but in the mean time, I think from the key on mushroom expert this is Hericium coralloides. Confirm? Found on a dead log (10 years or more). unknown specie of log. The spines are about 1/4 inch in length or less.

Re: Hericium coralloides?
Bruce - excellent eating find whatever the species is. Denfinately Hericium. The spines... would you say most of them are at least 1 cm long or shorter than 1 cm? More than likely its H. americanum - I had this same dillema yesterday and figured mine are both H. americanum given the length of the spines. Interesting fungus isn't it!
