Anyone know what this is?

[Jay]

Noticed it the other day. It's on a Purple Plum. I haven't seen anything like it before and thought it looked a bit different, just wanted to know what it is. its growing out of a wound and there is a smaller one on the tree aswell. and no it's not no more big gaps, i know that much. but it is really bright yellow soft velvety and wet to touch.

cheers

looks like chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) quite tasty i beleive when young i got one off an oak once but mashed it before i got home .. doh

The messier.

 

It looks like a babies face on the bottom right bulge and a gorillas face on the bottom left bulge.

 

It may be a sign from the gods.

 

Come on you fungie people.

Wow, talk about coincidence! I also found a couple of these on a purple plum today! Don't think is chicken of the woods, give me a few secs and I will post a couple of pics!

[Steve Bullman]

not like any chicken of the woods ive seen.

[Jay]

i dont think its chicken of the woods either, had a look at some pics of them on google and they look more like brackets, this isn't unless its just new and hasn,t formed yet.

Its hard to say by the pic but could be chicken of the woods in early sexual stage:icon14:
