Chicken Of The Woods

Laetiporus sulphureus

Young fruiting bodies of Chicken Of The Woods are moist, rubbery and sulphur-yellow, sometimes with bright orange tips. Mature brackets turn pale and brittle and are frequently dotted with beetle or woodlouse holes. This fungus often grows in tiered clusters on oak and is occasionally found on other trees too. It is also known as the 'Sulphur polypore'.
