Dryad’s Saddle (Cerioporus Squamosus)
Waraitake (Gymnopilus Spectabilis) - I think?
Orange Pore Fungus (Favolaschia Claudopus)
Scurfy Twiglet Mushroom (Tubaria Furfuracea) - I think

Today's plant isn't even a plant, but it still deserves a look at! Folks, welcome to Laetiporus Sulphureus, or commonly referred to as 'chicken-of-the-woods'! That's right, a fungus! It's a soft toy the touch, bracket fungus, meaning it grows in a plate shape off the side of trees, specifically oak and cherry trees!
Chicken of the woods is a bright yellow fungus that's thick and fleshy with bands of orange when young, that fade to cream when it's older! It has a soft and moist crumbly flesh and has a strong mushroom smell!
As with all fungus, it spreads through spores, which get released from tiny little holes called pores!
Chicken of the woods is a vital fungus in UK woodlands, as it supports some specialist beetles, such as the hairy fungus beetle, which can only eat bracketed fungus! It's also commonly eat by deer! It's also edible for humans, when it's cooked! However, it disagreed with some people, and can cause a bit of dizziness and an upset stomach! And make sure you are 100% certain that it is chicken of the woods before you try to eat it! Frankly, it's best to just not try, so you don't get sick or possibly worse!
A shorter one today I'm afraid, just isn't as much information about chicken of the woods! Still, I'm always happy to spread whatever information I can about the wonderful world of plants (and fungus!) for all of you to learn! Anywho, without further delay, here is Laetiporus Sulphureus!
