Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus conifericola) mushroom in Mirrorwmont Park in Issaquah, Washington, USA. This magnificent annual polypore (long known as Laetiporus sulphureus) often forms large clusters of overlapping bright yellow and orange shelves on living trees, logs, stumps and snags. When young, the growing edge is soft and edible, but once the caps mature, they become tough and chalky.
