Laetiporus sulphureus
A beautiful and very colorful mushroom that grew to be very large
Wooded area on a dying tree in our backyard, next to wetlands (marsh/swamp area) and within a seven mile radius of lakes, river, woodlands, farmlands, prairie fields and farm fields.
This yellow and orange mushroom grew to be quite large. We thought it would break off due to its weight but it held on until it had dried to a dull brown before finally letting go.
