Yes, Very warm and very humid,.. but our "Canada" cold will no doubt be upon me soon.
Found these ones awaiting the snow.

looks like Dryad's Saddle mushroom. Tough, but edible.

It looks more like a bracket fungus rather than a Dryad’s Saddle. Maybe a Turkey Tail?

thanks for your reference to the identity as possibly "Turkey Tail". From Wikipedia looks to me as it might indeed be. There are a lot of colour variants.

There is a lot of variation. For your reference, here is a picture of some young Dryad’s Saddle. They were very common this summer in Ontario.
