Lions mane?

Hi, found this today, at first glance i though it was a plastic bag cause it was so big. I believe it’s some type of hericium? Also curious if people have thoughts on if it looks past edibility or not? Pretty ugly on top but the interior seems pretty fresh, no off smell or anything. Thanks!

Was this found growing on wood? Looks like maybe a malformed Hericium fruit body. The spines appear to be bunched together in smallish clusters rather than the one big bunch you see on H. erinaceus. Also, the spines seem short for H. erinaceus. So, my guess is this is H. americanum. I wonder if maybe it started growing on a tree and then the tree was toppled over?
