Hen of the Woods
Ranger Adam spotted this amazing Hen of the Woods fungi this morning at Phoenix Green woods. Not to be confused with Chicken of the Woods, Hen of the Woods is parasitic on broadleaved trees, especially liking Oak and Beech. It is edible, but only tastes nice when it is young and fresh and apparently has a smell reminiscent of mice, which puts me off eating it to be honest!
