Just wondering if anyone could identify these? Was on a live tree next to a creek in lancaster pa. Just wondering if they are ebile. The bottom has large pores and but no gills. Almost like a sponge. 

Thanks!

Young specimens of Cerioporus squamosus (aka. Pheasant's Back, Dryad's Saddle) are best to use as food. There are many reports that state the material trimmed from the cap margin of a mature specimen is good to eat. Regardless of the age of the material harvested for consumption, I think it's advisable to slice very thinly before preparing. Try a small amount sauteed in with onion in butter to see what it tastes like (and to be certain you have no sensitivity to this type mushroom). I once sampled some marinated/pickled slices that I thought were very good.
