Chicks

More Chicken of the Woods. It appears the forest is full of it this year, it must be a good season as I'm seeing it wherever I'm walking. One of today's finds was very fresh, and has yet to develop into the recognizable orange yellow spreading bracket of its mature form. Fungi is parasitic in nature and this Oak trunk had blobs of young Chicken of the Woods exploding all over it.  Young, it looks like this, blobby and wet, quite alien and strange, and not something that naturally shout 'eat me!' at you.
