FOTD #092 : crab of the woods! (laetiporus sulphureus)

the crab of the woods (also sulphur shelf / polypore) is a bracket fungus of the family fomitopsidaceae. it is a saprophyte & weak parasite that often causes brown cubical rot !! it grows across europe & north america :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? yes & it is quite delicious :-) it has been compared to the taste of crab, lobster & chicken. some deer also eat it !! however, humans should not eat it raw.

l. sulphureus description :

"the fruiting body emerges directly from the trunk of a tree & is initially knob-shaped, but soon expands to fan-shaped shelves, typically growing in overlapping tiers. it is sulphur-yellow to bright orange in colour & has a suede-like texture. old fruitbodies fade to tan or whitish. each shelf may be anywhere from 5 to 60 centimetres (2 to 23+1⁄2 inches) across up to 4 cm (1+1⁄2 in) thick. the fertile surface is sulphur-yellow with small pores or tubes & produces a white spore print. when fresh, the flesh is succulent with a strong fungal aroma & exudes a yellowish, transparent juice, but soon becomes dry & brittle."

Chicken of the woods

Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus, are commonly known as sulphur shelf, chicken of the woods, the chicken mushroom, or the chicken fungus because many think they taste like chicken. 

Physical features important for identification of Laetiporus species include the color of the cap surface and the pore surface, and the general habit of the fruiting bodies: some species are "butt rot" species that occur in rosettes at the bases of trees.

Chicken of the woods is found growing on or at the base of dead or dying hardwood trees; most commonly on oak but also cherry or beech. It can also be found on dead conifer stumps. Chicken of the woods has been known to fruit on living trees as well.

Chicken of the Woods Mushroom Benefits:

Antioxidant.

Antibacterial.

Anti-carcinogenic.

Hormonal balancing.

Dental healthcare.

Anti-inflammatory.

Diabetes treatment.

A warning for mushroom and chicken aficionados: the Laetiporus has been known, albeit in very small percentages, to cause allergic reactions. They're pretty mild nevertheless, like swollen lips or in rare cases nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and disorientation.

Chicken of the wood connections:

Genus: Laetiporus; Murr. (1904)

Family: Fomitopsidaceae

[EDIT] as some of you may have noticed, this is actually Rhodeia, the Oceanid, and NOT Rhodonia, a fungal genus in the family Fomitopsidaceae, as i had accidentally mislabeled her. 

pro tip: don’t watch nature documentaries while typing :/

Red-belted bracket (Fomitopsis pinicola)

Identified by its red and orange belts of colour, this attractive bracket forms its distinctive ring between annual layers of growth, which also form its hoof-like shape as wider and wider layers of tubes (pores pictured underneath) build up over four or five years. 

Like other large polypores - in the  Fomitopsidaceae and Ganodermataceae families - this fungus is far too tough to be edible.
