No, not good to eat(non lethal but yucky) but not a destroying angel. Destroyers are a ground fungi, not a bracket on a tree trunk. Below is a destroying angel!
Destroying angel mushrooms. Ground growing with a little white collar underneath the cap.

Moss on quartzite! The sun shining on the boulders made them look like glittering ice 🌿

#moss
Moss clump growing happily in a crack on a sparkly quartzite boulder. Quartzite is made from quartz based sandstone being compressed with heat and pressure within the earths crust into a metamorphic rock.

Commissioned fanart of the band Powerwolf- drawn by the amazing lulilasafu. Inspired by their vancouver recap- https://www.instagram.com/p/DPSZqNXiHS6/ . From left to right- Charles Greywolf (guitar), Roel Van Helden (drums), Atilla Dorn (vocalist), Falk Maria Schlegel (organ) and Matthew Greywolf (guitar). They have a case of the giggles.
