| | | Sparassis growing time
Found the early signs of a nice sparassis at the base of a tree today - anyone know long it will take to grow large enough to pick? I'd hate someone else to get there first, and it's not something I can check every day! |

Hi
I can not bring myself to pick them as I do not find them very often and they are so beautiful I always leave them for others to see

Well I wouldn't pick all of it. But nevertheless, any ideas? |

I would say if you left it for three months it would be just perfect   |
