3. Sparassis crispa (Wulf.) Fr. 



This fine species is rare in North Carolina. It has not been 

 found in Chapel Hill, but I have seen it at Kanuga, and Beardslee 

 has it from Asheville. It is much more crisped and irregular than 

 *S. Herhstii, with thinner and more intricate branches that do not 

 form the rather obvious labyrinths that are characteristic of the 

 latter species. Its diameter is usually about 10-20 cm., but it has 

 been reported larger. The color is a soaked, translucent, yellowish- 

 white, becoming brownish in age. Like S. Herhstii, it also grows 

 from the wood of conifers that is on or under the ground. Edible 

 and very good.
