More and more clumps of Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) are bursting out all over the forest; their vibrant hues easy to spot amongst the greens and browns of the stands. Easy to identify and hard to misidentify, versitile to cook, tasty, and listed as 'edible good' in most books on Mushrooms, Chricken of the Woods is a favourite among wild fungi munchers. Be warned though, although listed 'edible good' Chricken of the Woods can cause dizziness and stomach upset in some; collect when young before they become woody, avoid specimins growning on Yews, and remember, if you're not a 110% leave well alone.
