We have a groups of mushrooms that we call "ticka". 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:
