Laetiporus sulphureus
This fungus is a common find in woodlands across the UK. They are found mainly on deciduous trees, for example oak, sweet chestnut and beech. Often they are quite high up on the tree trunk, so its worth casting your eyes upwards!
The flesh of this bracket fungus has a texture similar to cooked chicken, hence the common name!
The Giant polypore (Meripilus gigantus) can form similar bracket structures. However, the underside of Giant polypore turns black when damaged, which cannot be seen in Chicken of the Woods.

Donate to our appeal and help protect vulnerable species, conserve the habitats they depend on and strengthen the ecosystems that support us all.
This is a pivotal moment for fungal conservation. The decisions we make now will determine what we discover, protect and pass on to future generations.
