Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus)Observer
martyzenderDescription
A very young cluster of chicken of the woods was discovered on 9/26/2020 by myself and my colleague Thomas. We were out on a patrol for a guided nature hike. This cluster was growing in a rosette pattern and had that yellow colorization but no noticed fins with that orange color yet. We decided to harvest it when it was more mature so we gave it a week. On the day that we harvested the fungi (10/04/20) Luke another park ranger tag along for this mission. After captured some photos of the fungi, we also noticed smaller clusters of chicken of the woods on the same black cherry trunk. We decided to leave these smaller clusters for others and for them to grow more. Luckily for us we brought an extendable pole saw to cut the fungi which was about 12' above from the ground. We sawed it down and attempted to catch it with my rain jacket from my bag. I had know idea that this could way so much! We estimated the weight to be around 10lbs give or take. Measurements were 16" across and 16 " long. Fins were about 6" to 2" in varies sizes throughout the cluster. Great find and made our day while in the field.
