This isn't a mushroom, it's a slime mold! Wolf's milk slime to be precise.

Most likely turkey tails (Trametes versicolor). There's another similar looking species appropriately called false turkey tails. If the underside has pores, it's turkey tails. They're one of the most hardy fungi I see - they grow throughout the winter even. They're not poisonous - some people make a tincture out of them to cure various ailments. I can't say how effective it is.

Johnny Joestar posted:i was considering going out this upcoming week for a preliminary look in my neck of the woods, does anyone have any general tips for what sorts of areas they like popping up in? near water? around paths? certain kinds of trees? i have all sorts of options out there. i like getting a variety of opinions from firsthand experiences since that's usually better than just reading some random article online. I'm from near you (Kentucky) but this advice probably applies everywhere. Finding mushrooms depends on what the mushroom's food source is. Some live on dead wood, some on living roots, some on insects, etc. etc. That said, you can find a lot of mushrooms by looking around any fallen logs. They're also seasonal. Winter is not great but as it gets into the warmer parts of spring you'll start to find them. Late summer / early fall is when things really get going though. From about May - Nov I love to hike and just let my eyes sort of scan the bases of living trees and logs and I find tons. Once you start looking, you will see them everywhere.

Looks a lot like CoTW - it's an orange shelf with yellow edges. AFAIK, the only "close" poisonous species is jack o' lanterns, which are not a shelf but an orange, stalked mushroom.
