Sulphur Polypore - "chicken of the woods"
This edible fungus (Laetiporus sulphureus) was growing on an old oak tree next to the infant Beaulieu River. This is a fresh young specimen, with a striking bright yellow/orange colour. The flesh has a very meaty texture, but like real chicken it shouldn't be eaten raw.
