Laetiporus sulphureus is a saprophyte and occasionally a weak parasite, causing brown cubical rot in the heartwood of trees on which it grows. Unlike many bracket fungi, it is edible when young, although adverse reactions have been reported.
Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus , are commonly known as sulphur shelf , chicken of the woods , the chicken mushroom , or the chicken fungus because it is often described as tasting like and having a texture similar to that of chicken meat .
This is a very distinct mushroom except for its cousin, the black staining mushroom, which is similar in taste but rubbery. Edible species which look similar to G. frondosa include Meripilus sumstinei (which stains black), Sparassis spathulata [4] and Laetiporus sulphureus, another edible bracket fungus that is commonly called chicken of the woods or "sulphur shelf".

Laetiporus sulphureus, Polyporaceae Widespread in Northern Hemisphere. Approximately half of a specimen found by Ty Whitmore near Maysville, Missouri in October 2005 was 76 cm (30 in) wide by 41 cm (16 in) top to bottom. [47] [48] [49] 41 cm (16 in) top to bottom. This portion weighed 25.46 kg (56.1 lb)
Polyporales species that fruit on the ground are either root rot species–such as Laetiporus cincinnatus and Grifola frondosa, or are fruiting from buried pieces of substrate–such as Polyporus radicatus and P. melanopus. [22] Wood-decay Polyporales reduce the volume of dead wood in the forest and are an important component of the carbon ...
