Chicken of the Woods

Laetiporus sulphureus

Description:

Yellow/orange fungi growing in a corner of a cut tree stump. Unfortunately I was unable to get a closer image due to a fence. It's the same stump that had a different fungi last year http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/741...

Habitat:

Unknown tree stump in neighbors yard (I cannot enter their property). "The mushroom grows on dead or mature hardwoods such as oak, cherry and beech from August to October or later, sometime as early as June. The species can also be found under conifers. It can usually be found growing in clusters." - Wikipedia
