This is the first Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus), also commonly known as the sulphur polypore I've seen this season, young and fresh, yet to be devoured by the myriad of woodland creatures who would relish it, it would make good eating. Only collect Chicken of the Woods growing on an Oak trees as it has been suggested that those growing on Yews could be poisonous.
