It looks like a type of oyster ‘shroom?

I just went through my mushroom book and couldn’t find anything quite like it. My book is supposed to cover mushrooms of the boreal forests, so the one you found may not be included in its pages.

Hmm…Mushroom of white do not bite?
Seems I always heard white ones were not to be eaten. Anyone else hear that?

It’s hard to tell from the photo, but this looks like two bodies of a fruiting cap mushroom fused into one, an anomalous specimen. I can’t give you a positive ID, but I can answer the question in the last post and give you a tip. The only mushroom in North America that will flat out kill you–as opposed to making you puke or see three-headed elk–is amanita phaloidies, which is pure white and has a cap. (It also has a distinctive cup around the base and ring around the stem, under good conditions.) Avoid eating white mushrooms with caps and you’ll survive. Don

Three-headed elk. Hmmmmmm. And I thought it was hard to pick a spot when there is only one head of horns! 😉
