Outburst of orange

Bijlmerweide collection The Netherlands, Amsterdam South-East Outburst of orange Orange bracket fungi in the low 'armpit' of a tree. This beautiful orange bracket fungi drew my attention from afar. I had to wade through a vegetation of high growing nettles and blackberry bushes, but it was worth the effort... Never saw a bracket fungi as orange as this... Kept it in my archives for a very long time, but I knew that once I would dig it up and upload it... Now it's the time... :) Anybody who knows the name of species? Please let me know! SOLVED (see below)! Thank you, Carla! === Sulphur shelf or chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphereus var. cincinnatus) See Wikipedia Edible: "The mushroom can be prepared in most ways that one can prepare chicken meat. It can also be used as a substitute for chicken in a vegetarian diet. Additionally, it can be frozen for long periods of time and retain its edibility. In certain parts of Germany and North America, it is even considered a delicacy. However, a small percentage of people can have an allergic reaction when ingesting it." (quote Wikipedia) Thanks to Carla Wick/Jandelle Petters for her help in identifying the species. I knew you would know it, Carla, thank you :) ! * Photograph made with Canon Powershot A520 Exposure 100 sec, f. 2,6 focal length 5,8 mm Date: april 30, 2008 * See more See more of my fungi See more of my macro/ close-up photography You can now also search my portfolio using Steppeland Thematic Catalogue * h3.
