Found in Eastern Ohio. Not sure what type of tree it is, but there’s lots of maple, oak, and black walnut around. There’s also something dropping a cherry-like fruit (chokecherry?).

Here’s a picture of the underside:

Edit: it wouldn’t let me post the other picture, so I’ll try doing it in a comment

Take a spore print to differentiate between these two easily

I was able to do a spore print, and it looks like they’re white. If my research is correct, that means it’s a honey fungus, right?

I won’t eat any either way, because I’m just too new at this stuff, but I think it’s fun to try and identify it.

I’m pretty sure it’s not A. gallica because it looks like the hymenium are subdecurrent to me. Wikipedia says that A. gallica has adnate hymenium.

I’m thinking it’s maybe it’s A. mellea since it can have either type. But I’ll keep researching it to make sure.
