sailingleaf Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 My father got me kind of hooked on finding mushrooms even though I tend to not eat them. It's more of a "look what I found" sort of thing. So far the only one I've been able to 100% identify is the chicken of the woods I found July 1st on the side of the road. My best guess is that due to the crazy amount of rain we had it fell off the tree or stump it was on and flipped over. The first picture is as I found it. The second is after I did my best to clean it off. Because of its unknown origins, we didn't eat it. The gravel kind of put us off it. Pretty neat for something I almost drove by! Is this early, though for a chicken of the woods in Maine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Looks like fairly old material. Younger/fresher ones would be better to sample... as long as you know what you're sampling. These do look like Laetiporus (Chicken Mushroom). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
