Michigan Can't Get Enough of Pheasant's Back Mushroom!
Today we celebrate United State's 243th birthday as well as @koinpro 's 67 observations of Polyporus squamosus. @koinpro has the most observations of P. squamosus... in the world! This melony mushroom is also Michigan's most popular fungus on iNaturalist with 324 confirmed observations. P. squamosus is considered an edible fungus, although I have never prepared it in a way that was satisfying. Regardless, it is a pleasant sight in the spring because it marks the beginning of mushroom season and the fact that morels could be afoot.
Do you eat this mushroom and have a good recipe to share? What do you like about it?

Thanks my friend! This was very nice of you. I had no idea I was the top observer. I shot many as I walked through the local woods showing my wife the pics as I post them trying to convince my wife they were safe and to go ahead and eat them as she loves mushrooms (I personally don't eat them). So far she still does not trust me! She didn't trust me on Shaggy Mane either so I'm not surprised. LOL
Happy 4th of July!!
