First Chicken of the woods I've seen this season, much later than I'd usually expect too. It's been a sparse year for Chicken of the woods, well, at least it has been in through my roams. It's been particularly noticeable as for the last few years they've been bountiful, I'd regularly been seeing a dozen good sized clumps whilst out wandering. It doesn't worry me too much though, I've been collecting fungi in the forest for 30 years and I'm used to these yearly fluctuations, and have not noticed any long term changes in frequency, quantity or distribution. I think it's just natural cycles at play. Lovely colourful clump though. Fresh too.
