Sorry, I just saw CorduneanuVlad's comment. It is probably Auricularia auricula-judae, even though there are 7 other fungi in the genus.

The whiteish ones are Stereum Ostrea - not edible, but the Jew's Ear (Auricularia Auricula-Judae) is and has medicinal properties (blood thinner). Here are the links to both mushrooms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereum_ostrea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auricularia_auricula-judae
