Sulfur Shelf/Chicken of the Woods spotted in Crocus By Billy Joe Fudge This is the largest and most beautiful Sulfur Shelf fungus I've seen in years. The Sulfur Shelf fungus is better known as Chicken of the Woods. This one is growing in the Crocus Community. It is often seen growing on dead or dying Red oak and that is exactly on where this one was growing. As you can see on my Biltmore stick, this one spans from the 7 inch mark on the left to the 19 inch mark on the right, making it 12 inches in diameter and although I did not measure the height, I would estimate it was some 8 inches tall. And as to the age old question, is it edible? The answer is both yes and no! According to the US Forest Service handbook, it is edible when it is young and not edible when it is mature. Whether that is due to it losing its fleshiness with age or whether it develops toxins, I don't know. My suggestion would be to look, only! This story was posted on 2018-10-23 19:26:37
