Dru Posted May 4, 2005 Author Posted May 4, 2005 Laetiporus sulphureus: The Chicken of the Woods [ Basidiomycetes > Polyporales > Polyporaceae > Laetiporus . . . ] by Michael Kuo The "Chicken of the Woods" is a popular edible, and easily recognized by its color, soft texture, and absence of hair. I'm not a big fan (it's a little "fishy" for me), but I know many people who love it. The young rosettes and the tender edges from virgin specimens are more palatable than the older, tougher specimens. Though the Chicken of the Woods is a safe and easily recognized edible delicacy, it should not be eaten raw; there are reports of people being adversely affected when it was not cooked. Quote
