Next question... What is it ???
Fungus of what kind.
There was a large white oak tree here last year.

Do they make a fungus identification book like the tree identification books you use in horticulture class?  If so, that's what you need! ;)  Wow, so bright and colorful, I'm thinking that is a warning!

Looks like chicken of the woods, edible but tastes kinda strong when they get that big. Don't eat on my advice though, have a shroom expert identify before eating. The color and shape are a dead giveaway, but they usually grow on the base of a live tree, so I'm only 90% sure.
Not sure which came first, but I have chickens and eggs.

I think it's growing on what left of tree roots from the oak tree.

Looks like it could be jack o lantern  mushroom.   Poisonous and bioluminescent.  Need a picture of the gills or false gills and are the stems hollow or not.  Almost positive it's not hen of the woods.

The only two shrooms I can positively identify now days are morels and oysters. I used to be able to spot another more elicit one in my youth but those days are long past. Even with a good book it can be hard to positively identify some of them. Proceed with extreme caution.

If you go out there now and look at them, you might see this:

Maybe if you have an ultraviolet light.  ;)

Sounds a little crazy, but they actually produce their own light.

I have to say some of those elicit mushrooms I eluded to in my earlier post made me see things like that but I never saw a mushroom make lights on its own.  :o :D

 Hen of the woods and chicken of the woods are completely different in shape and color, but often confused as the same. Cut one open, the flesh should look like cheese, kinda a pale yellow color. The underside should be a solid yellowish color with small sections of pores. It doesn't look like Jack o Lantern but if it has gills on the underside it definitely isn't a type of polypore mushroom and you should wash your hands and don't eat. The cap looks too thin to be chicken of the woods, take a pic of the underside and it will help identify it.
Not sure which came first, but I have chickens and eggs.

I emailed a pic to a buddy who is a dedicated shroom hunter, he just called and said don't eat! He thinks it could be Jack O Lantern or Chanterelle, one is very deadly, one is very edible. I always email him a pic before I eat mushrooms so I don't end up in the E.R. Without a pic of the underside there is no way to know for sure.

The color looks to orange . I have been to some Mycological Association events  there are many mushrooms that look alike . But one is Poisonous.  So you have a 50 / 50 chance.

The orange is right for chanterelle, but i eat them pretty much every year and they usually don't look like that.  Jack o lantern is often mistaken for chanterelles and it just looks like jack o lantern to me.

Your pic of the gills show that the gills are true but are forked at the edges which should mean its a false chanterelle, still not edible but not as poisonous as Jack o lantern. It is for sure 100% not edible unless you like being really sick... smiley_sick smiley_sick

This is just a little part of a large mushroom circle in my yard...
Also known as fairy circle, elf circle, elf ring or pixie ring.
In France they are know as sorcerers rings.
In German they are know as witches' rings.
Dutch superstition claimed that the circles show where the Devil set his milk churn.
In Tyrol, folklore attributed fairy rings to the fiery tails of flying dragons.
European superstitions routinely warned against entering a fairy ring.
French tradition reported that fairy rings were guarded by giant bug-eyed toads that cursed those who violated the circles.
In Europe, entering a fairy ring would result in the loss of an eye.
Fairy rings are associated with diminutive spirits in the Philippines
Many folk beliefs generally paint fairy rings as dangerous places, best avoided.

He wha tills the fairies' green
Nae luck again shall hae :
And he wha spills the fairies' ring
Betide him want and wae.
For weirdless days and weary nights
Are his till his deein' day.
But he wha gaes by the fairy ring,
Nae dule nor pine shall see,
And he wha cleans the fairy ring
An easy death shall dee.

I recon I'm doomed then because I cleared out 2 of them last week so my old half blind horse wouldn't graze into them by accident.

They will be back unless you removed the ground also...
