#sulphur shelf fungus

[vandaliatraveler]

Early October on Dunkard Creek at Mason-Dixon Historical Park. Even with the first frost just around the corner, life abounds along the stream, including: sulphur shelf fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus), more commonly known as chicken-of-the-woods; fall phlox (Phlox paniculata); and the flamboyantly-beautiful New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). The park is also at the eastern-most range of the thorny-trunked honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), whose common name derives from the sweet taste of its edible fruit pods.

FOTD #092 : crab of the woods! (laetiporus sulphureus)

the crab of the woods (also sulphur shelf / polypore) is a bracket fungus of the family fomitopsidaceae. it is a saprophyte & weak parasite that often causes brown cubical rot !! it grows across europe & north america :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? yes & it is quite delicious :-) it has been compared to the taste of crab, lobster & chicken. some deer also eat it !! however, humans should not eat it raw.

l. sulphureus description :

"the fruiting body emerges directly from the trunk of a tree & is initially knob-shaped, but soon expands to fan-shaped shelves, typically growing in overlapping tiers. it is sulphur-yellow to bright orange in colour & has a suede-like texture. old fruitbodies fade to tan or whitish. each shelf may be anywhere from 5 to 60 centimetres (2 to 23+1⁄2 inches) across up to 4 cm (1+1⁄2 in) thick. the fertile surface is sulphur-yellow with small pores or tubes & produces a white spore print. when fresh, the flesh is succulent with a strong fungal aroma & exudes a yellowish, transparent juice, but soon becomes dry & brittle."

maybe a one-shot with jade x gn reader where they go camping together? jade excited to look for mushrooms and y/n excited about incoming severe weather (they’re both uncomfortably passionate about their special interests)

　　　　　　JADE x gn reader

　　　　『　jade ,, gender neutral reader    』

　　-> camping w/ jade n stuffs

　　— fluff ,, sfw

　　— jade !!! my beloved 😭♥️♥️ tysm for requesting 🫶 sorry if this is a little short :((

setting up the tent wasnt meant to take this long ,, but it was the only thing jade had entrusted you to . and somehow you still managed to fuck it up . too distracted by the clouds and harsh wind you didnt notice jade returning from his little scavenging mission . a plentiful of different mushrooms placed neatly in his basket .

he eyed the tent before redirecting his gaze towards where you stood ,, staring up at the sky . he set his basket down gently on the nearby stump and walked over to you . “ see anything interesting ?” he questioned before looking up at the sky with you . humming ,, you nod your head ,,” yeah ,, seems like a storm is heading towards the town west of here . it doesnt seem like its going to hit us though . if it does ,, it’ll be light .” you shrugged your shoulders before turning and wrapping your arms around him . a soft kiss was quickly pressed to his cheek ,, eyes catching sight of the basket on the stump .

“ seems like you were busy ,,” you pointed towards the mushroom basket ,, leaning your head against his chest as his arms snaked around you . “ indeed . i managed to find quite the source of mushrooms .” he beamed proudly ,, pressing a kiss to your head .

“ need help with the tent ?” he asked ,, looking to where it sat all lumped together . you hid your face against his shirt ,, breathing in his scent . “ maybe ,,” you mumbled ,, enjoying his body warmth for the brief second it happened to last . the eel chuckled before letting go of you ,, and managing to escape your hold on him ;; walking over and picking up the bits and pieces used to help stand it up .

it had been a little while since that had happened though ,, the sky now littered with dark grey clouds . huddled close to the fire ,, you watched as jade precisely turned over the few mushrooms before taking them away from the heat . you didnt pay too much attention to what he did after ,, just focused on trying to stay warm .

“ here ,, open your mouth .” his voice carried over to your ears ,, soft and gentle as you followed his instructions . he fed you a piece of the mushroom ,, waiting for your feedback . “ how is it ?” he asked ,, placing his cheek on his hand . “ it tastes like chicken ,,” you commented before you finished chewing and swallowing . “ it tastes good though .”

jade nodded ,, pleased with your answer . “ yes ,, its meant to taste like chicken in a way . its sulphur shelf ,, also known as chicken of the woods . i’ve been meaning to try some but havent had any luck in the woods near nrc .” he cut himself a piece and enjoyed it . “ its scientific name is laetiporus . it has quite the antioxidants ,, rich in them actually .” a smile was reflected on his face ,, a light blush to his cheeks as he rambled on about the fungus .

it was times like these you enjoyed ,, seeing how happy your lover was over small things such as fungi . it warmed your heart ,, seeing this side of him . it made you want to scoot over and kiss his face silly ,, but you’ll wait till later to do that . instead ,, you continue to snack on the dinner jade had prepared ,, listening to him continue talking about the mushrooms he gathered earlier in the day .

Okay here’s the deal I have one (1) issue with how the like. Mushroom parts of the fungus look in tlou right? Okay so

This is irl actual for real cordyceps. Looks kinda funky. Edible! In fact, you can buy caterpillars that have been infected with cordyceps and take them as like, a supplement. But yeah unless you’re an ant or other insect, cordyceps is not dangerous, and you can eat it. Though I can’t speak to whether or not it tastes good

But here is where my issue lies

This is chicken of the woods, Laetiporus sulphureus, also known as sulphur shelf, chicken mushroom, or chicken fungus. (Not to be confused with hen of the woods/sheep’s head/ram’s head or fried chicken mushroom.) Completely harmless, and pretty common! I actually have some in my freezer right now. It literally tastes like chicken, the texture is identical, it’s wild.

But which one of these looks more like the mushrooms in the show????????? The chicken of the woods 😭😭😭 the for sure delicious one that you can probably just find on a hike in the woods, or maybe even while you’re driving like I did.

#don’t demonize my boy 😭😭 #tori says things #max says things #if you go mushroom foraging always be so so so careful #triple check what you have and if there’s any doubt throw it out #bc you don’t wanna get sick and die

Svovlporesvamp (Laetiporus sulphureus)

En poresvamp uden reelle forvekslingsmuligheder, mens den er ung. I dette stadie er den desuden en udmærket spisesvamp, som dog skal tilbreredes inden servering.

Selv ældre svampe er svære at forveksle med andre, da de vedbliver at have kraftige gule og rødlige farver på dele af frugtlegemet.

Sulphur polypore / Chicken-of-the-woods / Crab-of-the-woods / Sulphur shelf (Laetiporus sulphureus)

A polypore with no real risk of mis-identification in its early stages. In this stage, this polypore edible, though it requires cooking before being served.

Even older sulphur polypore are difficult to mistake for other species as they retain the yellow and reddish colours on parts of the fruiting body.

More rain in NC-WV today.  As compensation, I was mesmerized by the intense green inferno of an Appalachian forest after a steady downpour. Photos from Scott Run Trail in Coopers Rock State Forest.

Hen of the woods

Grifola frondosa 

also known as: hen-of-the-woods, hen of the wood, maitake (舞茸, "dancing mushroom") in Japanese, ram's head or sheep's head)

Hen of the woods is a polypore mushroom that grows at the base of trees, particularly oaks.

It is typically found in late summer to early autumn. It is native to China, Europe, and North America.

Natural habitat: Maitake can be found especially on stumps or at the base of dead hardwood such as oaks, elms, blackgum, maples, larch and beech. In few cases Maitake has been found on pines as well.

Some similar-looking species are toxic. Edible species which look similar to Grifola frondosa include Meripilus sumstinei {which stains black} Sparassis spathulata and Laetiporus sulphureus, another edible bracket fungus that is commonly called chicken of the woods or "sulphur shelf".

G. frondosa grows from an underground tuber-like structure known as a sclerotium, about the size of a potato. The fruiting body, occurring as large as 100 centimetres (40 inches), rarely 150 cm (60 in), is a cluster consisting of multiple grayish-brown caps which are often curled or spoon-shaped, with wavy margins and 2–10 cm (1–4 in) broad.

The undersurface of each cap bears about one to three pores per millimeter, with the tubes rarely deeper than 3 mm (1⁄8 in).

 The milky-white stipe (stalk) has a branchy structure and becomes tough as the mushroom matures.

Hen of the Woods, Grifola frondosa. A tasty find which can sometimes be located by its pleasant aroma, this polypore is quite short lived and starts to smell awful when very mature. Can cause allergic reactions in a small amount of people.

Storage: The best way to preserve Hen of the Woods is to freeze them, without cooking. Good thing Hen of the Woods are quick and easy to preserve.

At home, clean your mushrooms, then carve away the tough, woody center of the fungus and save it to make duxelles.

Last mushroom drawing for now. More to come soon. Chicken of the Woods (also known as Sulphur Shelf, Chicken Mushroom, and the Chicken Fungi). It grows on trees and in large clusters. It either gets its name because its bright colors remind people of a chickens comb and/or because when cooked it tastes like chicken. This one you can only eat when its young and cooked thoroughly. Also be wary of what tree its growing off of because that could mean it's not safe. Also there is a whole different mushroom called Hen of the Woods. They are friends. #art #drawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #mushroom #mushrooms #mushroomdrawing #mushroomart #fungusart #fungi #fungus #chickenofthewoods #chickenofthewoodsmushroom #sulphershelf #chickenmushroom #chickenfungi https://www.instagram.com/p/CMAcjJfAHT4/?igshid=h8or5e23kc8q

White-Pored Chicken of the Woods. Laetiporus sulphureus is a species of bracket fungus (fungi that grow on trees) found in Europe and North America. Its common names are crab-of-the-woods, sulphur polypore, sulphur shelf, and chicken-of-the-woods. Its fruit bodies grow as striking golden-yellow shelf-like structures on tree trunks and branches. Old fruitbodies fade to pale beige or pale grey. The undersurface of the fruit body is made up of tubelike pores rather than gills.

2021.07.08: Laetiporus, they say ‘tastes just like chicken’ which is why it’s commonly called ‘Chicken-of-the-Woods,’ ‘the chicken mushroom,’ or ‘the chicken fungus.’ It’s also know as ‘sulphur shelf,’ but who’s going to eat that? - Tod’s Point, Old Greenwich, CT #chickenofthewoods #laetiporus #mushrooms #mushroomsofinstagram #fungi #morningwalk #todspoint #oldgreenwichct (at Tod's Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRFXtihFh8p/?utm_medium=tumblr
