I know nothing of mushroom ID's, except maybe the woodear fungus that grows logs. I saw this HUGE mushroom/fungus growing next to a big round on the woodyard. I've heard of hen of the woods or chicken of the woods down here in the south... Here is a picture...reference for size, that is a 44" round of post oak it is growing next to...
Looking at it, reminds me of cauliflower. So I looked it up. Could be: cauliflower mushroom - Google Search

My guess is chicken of the woods. They usually grow in or around dead oak stumps. I get them pretty good in my area along with a few others I haven't a clue of. Suppose to be a real treat but I just don't know when to pick em, they turn firm quick and start to turn black.
