What better way to start my Mushroom page than with a big juicy Chicken of the Woods. My guess is this is Laetiporus sulphureus which is prevalent in the fall. The cincinnatus subspecies is harvested in Spring and Summer. This was found on a hardwood stump (I think, it was old and in an area with Live Oaks) in Wilmington, NC. I ate about a pound of it last night sautéed in shallots and garlic and I feel fine!
