themess1 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Stumbled across my first chickens of the year. Damned squirrels tore the tops of them up pretty good. About 10 foot off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themess1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Definitely chickens. Most were way past prime though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themess1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Bad overcast here so I don't know how well the colors are going to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themess1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yeah, that was a bummer. Most of them were past their prime. Squirrels had gnawed on a bunch of them. I managed to save some of the smaller ones. Oh well, I'm just glad to find so many on one tree, in my back yard nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Color does look wrong for Laetiporus. But the growth on the trunk of the tree really looks like Laetiporus. So maybe it's just the photo. I was going to recommend Mweripilus sumstinei as a possible ID. How would you describe the color, themess (top and underside)?

themess1 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 The underside is fairly bright yellow with some areas about becoming an olive tone. The topside was almost pure white at the foot, then slowly changing to peach, then to different shades of orange/pastel orange/sherbert shades. The edges were bright orange or a rusty orange.

Dave W Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Description fits older specimens of Laetiporus cincinnatus. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/laetiporus_cincinnatus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
