I do think that is indeed chicken of the woods,but don't take my word for it. It might turn out to be a magic one...;)

Thanks! And no worries. . . unless a mycologist actually wants to stop my my yard for a look, I wouldn't eat it. :)

I don't think this is chicken of the woods.

What makes you say that, brendan?

Chicken of the Woods http://www.mushroomexpert.com/laetiporus_sulphureus.html

Are they turning redish.I tried some last year they dont taste like Chicken.

It is NOT a chicken of the woods. Chicken of the woods when it is young and fleshy (like the mushroom in your photo) is fluorescent orange on the top and fluorescent yellow on the bottom. (like safety vest colours) As it ages, it the colours sometimes fade to a dull dark orange on top and pale yellow to cream on the bottom. At this point it is usally to woody and tough to eat.

I have harvested it both from trees and growing on the ground (buried log).
