Mick Mushroom Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I wondered if anyone can tell me if this might be the beginning stages of a chicken of the woods mushroom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 It sure looks like young laetiporius Sulpherus. Keep an eye on it and see if it grows shelves and becomes orangish, reddish or pinkish. You really want to harvest those as young as possible for the best texture and flavors.

Mick Mushroom Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yes I plan to thanks! Here's another one... I wonder if it's really young lions mane. I'm not sure how it is supposed to attach to the tree, do they attach by a stalk? I sure appreciate your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 In my opinion, neither of these mushrooms look like what you suggest they might be. My advice is to never eat anything unless YOU know what it is. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfunguy Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 They are definitely too young to positively ID the yellow ones, which is why I recommend waiting until the shelves appear (if they are). Here's some pics of young laetiporius Cincinnatus and L. Sulpherus from last year. I knew what they were, because I harvested the prior year. Those white ones don't look anything like immature Laetiporius. The yellows are iffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
