  Indeed it made me do quite a double take. I think this one may be fairly large, compared to the others I've seen, but I did a bunch of poking around and confirmed that these start out light colored but age to a the shiny dark appearance I found in the spring. Posted 9 years ago

I just received a new ID suggestion for this mushroom - please compare it to Polyporus elegans. Posted 7 years ago
