  Could be, but it also reminds of what we in the Netherlands call the "wig fungi":

    It seems to be Hericium coralloides after all. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

      It definitely looked like Hericium coralloides up close!
      I wish I had a better lens for closeups with me at the time I came across it. Posted 10 years ago

Its a tricky one, could be either. A close up would be helpful to see if it has teeth! Both are Hericiums though, so a step in the right direction! Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
