Looks like it...cut one in half..if it looks like a mini apple....it is!!

They will make a beautiful pink apple jelly..which also tastes good

Agree with Gz and Dpack. As Gz says they will make a good crab apple jelly.

Thank you GZ, DPack and MR. I'll slice one in half the next time I pop down there.

Exciting times if they are, there are loads on the bush/tree.

I am not sure if this is edible more than once!
Anyone know it's name?

It is on an old beech stump

I have had a suggestion on a post I did elsewhere...a rather old Chicken in the Woods?

It might be. Chicken of the woods is rather yellow and that looks rather pink on my computer. The colour will change with age of course.

They do get to looking a bit like that when they're old, though the volcano architecture is a touch different than typical sulfur shelf. As dpack has said, it has a firm similar to very close relative (I think its specific epithet is something along the lines of "cinnamon" )

I think that discontent may just be a bit too old to tell what it is easily (and too old for good eating anyway). Good candidate for checking on earlier in the season next year
