Douglasjfetter Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Found this hiking it's been really dry lately. Is this chicken of the woods? It's rather pale. I am making spore prints now. I will update when I have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird-Man Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Boy, I'm not sure what that is, but if it is a chicken it is very faded, and old and inedible at this stage. The underside makes me want to say pheasant back but the top is throwing me off. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Compare with Bondarzewia. Probably B. berkeleyi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastedBrew Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I agree with berkley’s, but even then it’s probably pretty old... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglasjfetter Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ya from what I have researched I think it's a berkley. It's really tough, dropped a white spore print. We have only had a couple of 15 minute showers in the last couple of weeks, and it's about 85 or above most days. I'll check the spot again after we get a good rainfall. Hopefully I can find a better specimen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamilleR Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I'm going against the grain saying it looks like L. Cincinnatus to me. Based on the zoning lines on the fronds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I agree. Not Laetiporus. The elongated pore openings are wrong, and the thick brown stalk is wrong. I think B. berkeleyi, as has been suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
