Hi Jim & All, Sept 24, 2012
Sulphur Shelf can be very good but, as the guides indicate, only =
before it becomes tough. When eating anything for the first time it is =
prudent to not overindulge.=20
And one should be sure of ID by way of experience, a spore print =
and, if indicated, a compound microscope.
Yt, Dave Websterm Kentville

Subject: [NatureNS] sulphur shelf fungi at White Rock, + marbled =
godwit still
SEPT. 24, 2012 - Yesterday Pat & I noticed a big yellowish clump of =
bracket fungi on a tree-trunk just toward White Rock from the White Rock =
Bridge (Gaspereau River bridge). I guessed these were sulphur shelf =
fungi, and, surely enough, when I drove back today, I confirmed the =
identity as Laetiporus sulphureus, alias chicken mushroom or =
chicken-of-the-woods fungus. I believe the field guides say that the =
outer youngest parts of the brackets are edible? (my own rule is eat =
only the commercially sold kinds, and of course local and fresh).
For any of you who go for a look and/or a photo (I took two, since =
there was a more colourful clump on the "hidden" side of the tree-trunk =
(away from the road).
And, at about 12:30 p.m., the marbled godwit was in its usual place in =
Wolfville Harbour, just west of the biggest mud hill, in the drainage =
stream flowing out of the harbour toward the north.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
