Yeah, they’re creepy looking, but honestly, they’re delicious and worth quite a chunk of change. If I were you, I’d list it on Craigslist or the like and get some money for it, since you don’t want it yourself.
I am jealous.
Are you sure your dog didn’t have something to do with introducing the fungus to your yard? Behold the suspicious-looking beast.
And yeah, if I were you, I’d totally try eating it.
You get “chicken of the forest”, I get chocolate tube slime. At least yours doesn’t move under its own power.
I’m in Germany and I don’t think Craig’s List has infiltrated this far yet. However, I suppose I could let the folks I work with know about it and see if anyone wants it - provided they come and remove it themselves. It could easily feed 15 people at this point.
Although I must say that I’m morbidly fascinated by the thing and how quickly it grows. I’d sort of miss the little fella if he goes…
I’m a bit more freaked out by the tree face then the fungus.
Does it talk?
Ah, now I know where Leaffanville is! 
Do put the word out. I would be over in a heartbeat.
Those things wither and die amazingly fast, too, and knowing when to harvest them is a bit of an art form. 'Twould be a kindness to let your friends now about it sooner rather than later.
I wouldn’t put it past him (that’s his “what-the-hell-do-you-think-you’re-doing-disturbing-me-with-that-annoying-flashy-thing-again” look) but he, too, is alarmed by the thing. When it first appeared, he stood up on his hind legs, took a sniff and backed away growling…
The face or the fungus? 
The face actually glows in the dark. It’s very creepy at night.
I’ve got one of those! Or, I HAD one of those!
Witness the pancake tree:
…fairy steps…
…and what my niece calls “those vagina things on your tree out there.”
Freaky, but in a cool way. I caught a woman trying to steal them off my tree and I had to shoo her off.
Any tips? I’ve never had them before. I just thought they sounded interesting and they grow on hemlock, which I have a ton of, so I bought the spawn.
How much do they sell for? I’m doing the farmer’s market this year, and don’t have the foggiest idea what I’d charge for them.
Oh, you mean that Leaffanville. Ok, I should be able to swing by and have a look at it about 7:00 p.m.
On Friday.

It’s a long walk.
Wonder how big it will be by then ???
