I've tried to do an ID but I'm not sure, the nearest I could find is a Beefsteak Fungus but I'm probably wrong.

It looks like something that's been removed during a surgical procedure .    Very good shot, though.

only nanny could come up with that...lol!

 

does look like a beefsteak....but i was wondering if it could be a southern bracket, due to that white frill around the edge, don't think a beefsteak has that ..

I'm told that the beefsteak fungus is very good to eat, but since I do not trust my judgement of these things I leave them well alone.

i never touch them martyn.

 

when i was in my twenties and had just left london to move to cambridgeshire i lived next door to a lady in her sixties, who became the best friend i have ever had, she knew all the edible fungus and nuts and berries, we used to wander miles collecting stuff and then sit and eat, sad thing was i never actually took in and learnt her recipes and skills...
