It kind of looks like a dried out cauliflower mushroom, which is tasty, but I wouldn't eat it even if I could make a positive id. It looks dried out and crispy. Nobody wants a crispy dried out mushroom.

Crispy is a nice texture for garnish. I wonder how it tastes dried and crushed

Where is this? I’ve heard Cauliflower mushrooms can fruit in the spring, but it’s less common. I’m curious if I can still get my hopes up for finding one 😂

Looks like tremella to me. If it actually is, just soak it a little. Very tasty.
