Not sure what it is but it doesn’t look like chicken of the woods to me.

Looks like the Cincinnatus variety to me. It was at the base of an oak

Did you take a picture before you destroyed it lmao?

Not before i picked it. This isn’t destroyed; that’s how it is. The little top piece i split in half to show the inside. The left edge is where i ripped it in two to fit each in a napkin. It’s meaty all the way thru.

Please excuse the blurry focus. Posted this in a hurry and live-photo didn’t choose the best still.

It's honestly hard to tell. If it is chicken of the woods, it's a very young specimen maybe? Don't eat it to be safe though.
