knightfisher Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Many people eat these chicken mushrooms. I have not decided yet if I will take this one. It measures 27 inches across and about 10 inches high. Also the oak tree this mushroom is on is 17 feet in diameter. I believe it's the second or third largest oak tree here in Niagara.

Dan Andrews Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Wow Dan that's a huge tree (17'). I thought sulfer shelf mushrooms were yellow with an orange rim and also known as chicken of the woods. i would love to take a class on mushroom ID. No matter what kind that's a large pile of fungi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Do you mean 17' in circum. Dan ? That is a huge fungi ......If you paint it red it would look like a huge rose ! I saw a lot of weird looking fungi attached to trees when I walked for miles in the woods while moose hunting . At Arrow Lake there was plenty of pitcher plants which grew in wet mossy areas . They were a carnivorous plant which traps insects ....real cool to see the bugs inside these plants . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
