| | | Another one for poss I.D please
I spotted this today at the base of a beech/birch tree..... 
Is it chicken of the woods ... Laetiporus sulphureus ?
It had green/yellow pores underneath. The flesh had texture of a cooked chicken breast ! The smell was very pleasant.
So ladies and gents... is it ? Thanks for taking the time to reply.  |

Neil. | Nobby knows the rules and I think he was just saying he thought it may be L. sulphureus 
However, pretty sure it's not! M. giganteus is a possibility. |
