Walking through Great Huntley Bank I was struck by the frequency of Laetiporus sulphureus, Chicken of the woods, I must have seen more that a dozen clumps in less than 10 minuets. Chicken of the woods are edible, though caution should be taken as they can cause stomach upsets and although you may have eaten them previously, they can have an accumulative effect, causing sickness where they hadn't before. If in doubt, leave them out. I've eaten them in the past with no effect, although I shy away from them now and haven't eaten them for 10 years or more.
