Yew chicken?

Is this an old Laetiporus?

I believe it's the first year that it's shown itself.

Will probably just recommend reduction unless any of you knowledgable people scream FELL IT!

 

Cheers, Ed.

I would say that it is Laetiporus sulphureus

 

I've not come across any Laeti/Yew failures, (yet)

 

 

How big is the canopy?

Thanks David,

 

it's one in a row of 20ish on a small bank that road fronts a churchyard. They are all around the 12metre mark although I will have to Pollard the one next to this Yew as one of it's co-dom stems has fractured and so it will make a bit of a gap in the row.

Looking gorgeous this year, almost good enough to eat!

On a yew I'd avoid altogether! Word on the grapevine is that a certain Boddy has discovered the Laetiporus on yew is a different species to sulphureus too...

I've seen some on yew & it had a weird purple ting to it , I only eat the ones I find on oak ..
