Yesterday in the forest behind the Village housing apartments here at UNCW, I found an ecosystem on a dead and decaying Oak tree that had been knocked down most likely due to the control burn a few years ago. Growing on it is Laetiporus sulphureus, also know as Chicken of the Woods Mushroom. It’s distinctives physical feature are its bright yellow and orange colors, and how it grows, overlapping itself. The species is found in the eastern part of North America and is prevalent with forest filled hard-wood trees.
