When I saw this, I thought it was a cauliflower mushroom (you can occasionally buy them at Granville Island), but looking at my books, I suspect it is Hericium abietis - National Resources Canada's view. I find lots of these in the Pacific Northwest. I have always believed that they are called a" Boars Head Tooth" mushroom. I'm pretty sure that is what yours is! Cheers!!
