What is it? (woodlands version)
My wife and I went for a walk this lovely spring afternoon at Hogback Ridge. This is a favorite nearby "preservation park" -- a plot of old-growth forest land that the county has wisely set aside, before this whole area becomes one big 'burb of Columbus. As we were walking along, I spotted something odd growing out of a big scar on a gnarly old tree, and snapped a pic with the cell phone. Anyone have a clue what this thing is?

Re: What is it? (woodlands version)
I think it may be a bearded tooth mushroom? 
If it is - it is edible, though I am not advocating trying!!
Usually the bearded tooth is rounder.
Decades ago I dated a woman who was an edible mushroom fanatic. Stacks of books about the things. We trudged through the forest to find Morels.
Anyway that's my guess.
Be well,
Ben

Re: What is it? (woodlands version)
Ben's got it, I think. I Google image searched and came up with a photo of Lion's Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) and Wikipedia says that's another name for Bearded Tooth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hericium_erinaceus
Gale's Law: The bigger the woodworking project, the less the mistakes show in any photo taken far enough away to show the entire project!

Re: What is it? (woodlands version)
I think Ben nailed it, although these things are apparently more common in the Fall. Here's a pic from Wikipedia.
Purported medicinal uses include promoting nerve regeneration, and improving cognition.
Then again, if not in a woodland setting, Farmer's theory is at least as good.

Re: What is it? (woodlands version)
Ok, here's a much easier one. Same park, a couple of weeks ago. I knew what they were as soon as I saw them, but had only seen them in photos. What are they?
And as you can see below, they were quite plentiful.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.
