Cut this and a couple others out of a log I went to pick up today. Anybody know what kind it is? Is it edible?  I plan to let it dry and varnish it. Just thought it was really neat.

Those look like what we call a conk on the west coast and to an artist they can be worth more than a good piece of wood if the white part is not damaged with fingerprints or other marks.

Look similar to what we call a shelf fungus down here.

That's what we call a shelf too.  But, I'm curious.  What does an artist do with them, Bruce?

Got a couple new mushrooms sprouting this weekend. Friend told me of a place nearby that had wooden mushrooms for sale. I asked what they looked like and he explained the gereral size and design.  So I figured I'd give it a try.  Don't think we can smoke these ones CK.

Shopteacher has been raising more then Mushrooms. He sent me another of his creations in the mail. It has found a home on the little stump table at the end of our sofa where I can see it all the time. I am proud to add it to my collection of treasures. ;D  Thankyou Glenn. I really, really love this type of stuff.

Those shrooms commonly grow on a rotting elm stump on my uncle's lawn. Wish I could find that shroom book, searched everywhere. I see an updated one available on the web.

I was camping one time with an 'artsy' type. I found a shelf fungus and showed it to her. She asked to use my Swiss Army knife and a short time later there was a really neat picture of a tree on a mountainside with a moon overhead. I don't know how some people have such skill. Anyway, I brought the thing home for display in my office. A few days later, I notice little piles of sawdust (or was it shroom dust?) accumulating. I figure I was real smart when I decided to 'nuke the shroom'. No, it didn't explode but it did ruin the shading that she had done. It had been pure white with shades of tan and brown and I ruined it. :'(

SwampDonkey

Sounds like it was releasing spores. Could have been haploid or diploid depending on wheather they was spermatazoa or baby shrooms. ;)
