A foot across! - I'M DROOLING!

Best I can ever get is a chicken-of-the-woods about the size of a
grapefruit.

There is a chicken of the woods that has showed up on a pine tree in a
local park 3 years in a row. I'd wager that there are 20 pounds of
mushrooms on that thing before it starts to fade.

The down side is--it is a few yards from the dog park & a popular
tree to mark. So I just watch and drool. [and wonder if the big
ones we see in the woods are marked by critters we don't see.g]
