  1. :D So hard to find them without bugs. I'm hesitant to eat this species anyway, but I really want to try it at least once! Posted 4 years ago
    1. It really is! I have only found them fresh enough to eat a couple times. I don't like 99% of mushrooms, but these are okay...at least by my picky taste buds. Posted 4 years ago

"Laetiporus sulphureus" is a species of bracket fungus found in Europe and North America. Its fruit bodies grow as striking golden-yellow shelf-like structures on tree trunks and branches. Old fruitbodies fade to pale beige or pale grey. The undersurface of the fruit body is made up of tubelike pores rather than gills.
