Hi Folks,
I am familliar with
chicken of the woods, have only ever found the sulpures (sp..) type. I found this growing on a tree stump, it has all of the characteristics of a
chicken (cincinnatus, white pore), except it is very dark orange and the edges are not white. The top is not quite as soft as a chicken I have harvested before. It smells like a chicken and I know there really aren't any look alikes in my area (southern new hampshire). I have looked
online and not been able to find even one image that is a match for this. In an abundance of caution, I am reaching out to see if any of the experts can help identify this. It grew on top of a stump in a similar pattern as other
chickens I have harvested.
Attached are some pics:
