Chicken of the Woods mushroom






Chicken of the Woods mushroom, or Laetiporus sulphureus, on a fallen log in the woods.  One of the best wild mushrooms to eat, it really tastes like chicken.  This one is fresh and perfect for eating, soft and like a marshmallow to the touch.  As these mushrooms get older they get more woody and less suitable to eat.  In West Lafayette, May 10, 2013.
