Cauliflower Fungus

Sparassis crispa, the Cauliflower Fungus is a fairly common parasitic fungus found predominantly at the base Pine trunks or on Pine stumps.  The Cauliflower Fungus is edible, listed as good by many, best collected when young you must ensure it is cleaned well to remove any foreign bodies trapped amongst its lobes and then cook it well.  This example was in very good condition.
