Fungus, Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.) Murrill - Chicken-of-the-Woods
I went to this Greenland about 15 minutes away, where was very close to my house I used to live, but, I didn't discover it till 30 years later. Anyway, I was looking for damselflies to shoot, but, NO, they're gone. Instead, I found some fungus to shoot.
"Culinary notes
Laetiporus sulphureus is generally rated as a good edible fungus (unless growing on wood such as Yew, which itself contains dangerous toxins that could be taken up by the fungus); however, it is best picked when young and moist.
A popular way of cooking this fungus is to cut it into slices, brush them with oil, and then fry them in breadcrumbs; serve with lemon juice. The taste is quite like chicken; however, although most people find this a good edible species a small minority find that it causes feelings of nausea. If frozen (uncooked), this fungus retains most of its flavour, and so it is a good species for storing in preparation for the winter months."
