| | | Chicken Of The Woods.
hiya guys
Just wondering in which conditions Chicken Of The Woods grows. I have heard that chicken of the woods tends to grow on oak stumps but am not totally sure. Ever since my friend told me how superb it was to eat, i have frantically searched for it but have never found a trace. Would be grateful to hear from people who have found it and also who have eaten it.
Thanks...

There was a huge Chicken of the Woods growing on a live oak near us about a month or so ago. Would not dare to try eating it, though. My fungus identification skills are not good enough!
Here is a photo...

Oh dear! Mine looks different to Julie's. Is mine really Chicken of the Woods? I am really no good at this identification business.

Yeah pretty sure they are both chicken of the woods. The colours vary from specimen to specimen. In my Roger Phillips, it is photographed as a bright yellow bubbly lump! They both look similar to chickens feet! Cheers Jenny
