Laetiporus cincinnatus
Summary 2
Laetiporus sulphureus is a species of bracket fungus (fungus that grows on trees) found in Europe and North America. Its common names are crab-of-the-woods, sulphur polypore, sulphur shelf, and chicken-of-the-woods. Its fruit bodies grow as striking golden-yellow shelf-like structures on tree trunks and branches. Old fruibodies fade to pale beige or pale grey. The undersurface of the fruit body is made up of tubelike pores rather than gills.
