Edible when young and not all that great, I guess....but really cool looking
I really wish it were Maitake or at least Hen of the Woods.....

Berkeley's are dramatic and usually large (biggest I've seen was 50 lbs and filled a bucket seat) and more easily spotted than hens.
This is the time of year for berkeleys. Hens are more of a fall emerger.
One of the bondarzewia has some research showing specific activity against types of leukemia, but I must not have created a reference for that source. If I find the source Ill try to remember to come back and post it.

Aren't maitake and hen of the woods one and the same? There's also a "chicken of the woods", which is a different mushroom altogether.

they are the same....I didn't know that. I just know a very few edibles and am trying to learn a few more as they appear in our woods...Now I need to find out if it is 'chicken of the woods' or 'hen of the woods' that I have heard found here. thanks.

Also, I found a cool page that compares maitake with a couple polypore look-alikes, including berkley's:

What could go wrong in a swell place like "The Evil Eye"? Or with this tiny ad?
