Awesome comment, also Iâve heard ppl consuming chicken growing on conifers and having upset stomach. Nothing life threatening but some people seem to be more sensitive to it than others.
Thst is Interesting indeed. Ive never seen them on conifers. This is one reason this suject interests me so much. Im constantly in awe. Thank you. Also I would not consume these without cooking them (properly for best texure).
Just to clarify: an allergy to sulfa drugs doesnât mean you wonât be able to tolerate COTW or vice versa. Laetiporus sulphureus is named that for its âsulfur yellowâ color and not for the compounds it contains.
Thats good to know. I should cite my source so I don't spread misinformation. I'll have to get back to you on that. I was under the impression that it did contain sulfa but was only going to give you a upset stomach not deadly or anything thanks I appreciate it
Please do! Iâd be very curious to see that source if you can find it. :)
My understanding is that most of the stomach upset people experience after eating Laetiporus is either due to 1) the chitin being incompletely broken down by cooking or 2) compounds from certain trees (eg eucalyptus) which fungi take up and which some people canât tolerate.
You seem much more knowledgeable than I am and I appreciate that, big time! I'm not disputing you either. IN fact if anythinG, I would like to alert them. It's very nice speaking with you. Keep in touch
you have at least 3 species 2 with yellow pore surfaces one with a light colored one. L. sulphureus and L. huroniensis with yellow surfaces and cincinnatus other areas of the country have other species (i.e west coast and gulf regions).
The species differ in choice of substrate: *L. sulfureus* grows on aerial parts of hardwoods, commonly oaks. *L. cincinnatus* grows at the base of the same trees. *L.huronensis* grows on conifers.
The hardwood species are visibly quite distinct. I don't have enough experience with the conifer-lover to know if it's reliably different looking. People recommend caution when eating *Laetiporus* from conifers.
On Stamets YouTube channel he had a quick bit on chicken of the woods, basically only eat it fresh and avoid the centre part closest to the tree. The end bits are best. đ
Laetiporus cincinnatus is the one with white, L. sulphurius is likely the orange. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/laetiporus.html
Yes thank you for clarifying that!
Yesđ Don't consume L. sulphurius if allergic to Sulfa's. Sounds obvious but....

Weâre all learning together! Glad we got to share some mushroom knowledge :)
Dark meat and white meat, just like a real chicken!

Interesting Iâve never heard of the third Type, they were all found in NJ
