There are some that look like Hen of the Woods growing on a few stumps here, but they aren't the same - much tougher. I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it. I've never found Hen of the Woods this early. Are Chicken of the woods the same thing?

IMO totally different mushroom,Chickens are a summer early fall mushroom hens are a fall mushroom.
Chickens are of a different texture.

I have seen the ones that look like hens as well, and they are very tough. Don't know what they are, but they're around before the hens. Don't know if they are edible or not so I don't mess with them. I find hens in late September into October.
Internet suggests they may be a cousin to the hens of the woods, called black staining polypore. That variety is edible but not highly thought of. I'' wait for the hens.

About 24" across, it's growing on an old Oak Stump (White Oak)

About 24" across, it's growing on an old Oak Stump (White Oak) I am definitely not an expert but that looks like a Berkeley’s Polypore. Looking online it appears to be edible but sounds like flavor and tenderness can be all across the board. They grow around oaks also.
