Looks like one of those cauliflower funguses.

Cauliflower fungus. If I remember it is edible.

Picture reminded me of: 'Hen of the wood's but I think it's probably cauliflower fungus as others have suggested.

Thanks for sharing.

Sorry for missing this one folks. The pine needles behind the specimen are a good indicator of "growing location" for this one, and as Cauliflower Fungus grows at the base of pine trees, that would be my choice.

It is as most of you have already guessed, a cauliflower fungus, well spotted, fungi are often difficult to identify.

You get to try it first, 24 hours later provided you are fine we may try it :P
