No it definitely is not. Hen of the woods is very feathery in appearance. This one is much too solid. I'm not sure what you've got there, but I know it is not hen (chicken) of the woods. Good mushroom experts are hard to find. I've been studying for years, and am not even close. Good luck in finding someone who can identify it. Usually it's tricky to identify just from viewing a photo. One has to check the spore print, spore color, gills, etc. Lainey

Thank you Vincent! Youve been a big help. I gave false info on that first mushroom. The pic of it on my camera was much brigher than it loaded on the computer. That first mushroom DOES NOT have craters. It has RIDGES. The protruding ridges have black on the ends. I did some research on it and im really not sure if its a Morchella elata or a Verpa (false morel). You are right about the second being an 'Inky Cap'. I looked it up and I think its a Coprinus micaceus. The scaly stump grower- I believe it is a Turkey Tail, Trametes versicolor. It is SO awesome! Thanks again! CMK

Here's the fern-like volunteer, as described above.

That's a toughy, Rick, mainly because they are very mature (old). Some Lactarius (Milk Caps) can dry out when mature. I think I see tiny drops of latex on the gills in the second to last picture. It may be a Lactarius. If it has a very peppery taste (spit it out after tasting a small piece) it could be Lactarius piperatus, but that's a wild guess. Wish I could be more definitive. Ron
