Chicken of the woods...

After last week's delightful find of giant puffballs, this week, I spotted this beauty on a cherry tree in a park. It's a Sulphur Polypore (sounds ugh!), more commonly known as "Chicken of the Woods" (mmm... sounds much more appealing)


The blade on the Leatherman (the knife) is 4" long for scale...


Back at home, I didn't have time to cook this, so I chopped it up for freezing...


You get a lot of flesh off one of these. I could have used more, but the older root of the fungal body gets tough. I just fancied the succulent tender bits. Don't we all?


These really are beautifully fleshy. They have a lovely smell too. Sweet and earthy.


Bagged up, in it goes...

I'll post once I've cooked
