On Snuff Mill Lane the other day large numbers of these pretty brown critters had sprung up alongside a blackthorn and ivy hedge. I think it's honey fungus (Armillaria mellea) a destroyer of broadleaf trees, particularly fruit trees. I'm told they are edible but somehow I don't think I'll try. I recall the saying that everything is edible at least once. Did I mention there were large numbers of them?
These look a lot like a fungus grown near London,Ontario. They are very expensive. Say more than $30 Cdn. for a large one. https://www.shogunmaitake.com/
