Unfortunately they don't seem to have a common Latin name, so I don't know that the family would be. This one looks something like a "Sidenticka (silk "ticka")", Trametes versicolor, in Latin. Rule nr 1 with mushrooms is don't eat them if you don't know. Rule nr 2 is, are you 100% sure you know? One way or the other, this one wouldn't be edible, even if it is not likely to poisonous. The pictures I find on the net don't really liken the one in my book: http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Trametes_versicolor.html Daniel On 6/27/06, Jim Nichols <jhnichols@bellsouth.net> wrote: > With all of the expertise that is displayed on this forum, I'm sure > someone must know what this is called.
