Hens of the woods
According to Wiki, "Grifola frondosa is a polypore mushroom that grows in clusters at the base of trees, particularly oaks . The mushroom is commonly known among English speakers as hen of the woods, hen-of-the-woods, ram's head and sheep's head. It is typically found in late summer to early autumn. In the United States' supplement market, as well as in Asian grocery stores, the mushroom is known by its Japanese name maitake." The article also insinuates that it may help cancer patients. Commonly found in North Eastern US, but is also found on Vancouver Island abundantly.
