Cauliflower fungus (sparassis spathulata) maybe?

I've seen a lot Cauliflower Fungus (Sparassis crispa) about the forest this year, although I not sure if this isn't something rather special, it's form suggests it could be an example of the much rarer sparassis spathulata; with S.crispa the leaf like lobes are usually looser and more irregular. S.spathulatais is edible too, though whereas I'd likely pick me a chunk of fresh Cauliflower Fungus, I left this beauty on account of it's possible classification as rare. Nice spot though.
