What time do you call this? Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) is commonly found between May and August, a popular edible* bracket fungus, it's distinctive orange/ivory colour makes it hard to miss or misidentify. Of course, care should always be taken when collecting wild foods, and if in doubt...don't. To find fresh young fruits like this towards the end of September is quite an unusual occurrence. It's been a strange year for Chicken of the Woods, I saw scant signs of it through May to August, though now there are fresh clumps bursting out all over the place. The chaotic elements this year have played havoc with natures routines.
