This is one of the Laeiporus cincinnatus clusters that George brought to the walk to show everyone and to share. Unlike Laetiporus sulphureus (see next photo), each shelving 'petal' is softer and thinner. Also, and more importantly for determining identification, Laetiporus cincinnatus has a white, rather than an yellow pore surface. I must ask George if he has a preference for eating either one of these two varieties of Laetiporus that are rather common here in the northeast. I remember Tom Volk talking at last year's NEMF Foray in Deposit NY and saying he felt that Laetiporus cincinnatus was better and that more of the mushroom was edible because its texture was overall softer than that of Laetiporus sulphureus.
