The Fungi world (93) : Chicken of the Woods
Chicken of the Woods is most commonly growing on wounds of trees (mostly oak).
It produces however heavy red-brown rot in the host on which it grows and this nearly always ends in the collapse of the host tree as it can no longer flex and bend in the wind.
In its life, this fungus is continuously changing colour : from orange first to yolk yellow to some kind of brownish off-white at the end.
It can be prepared in most ways that one can prepare chicken meat and can also be used as a substitute for chicken in a vegetarian diet (hence its English name).
Dutch name : Zwavelzwam
German name : Schwefelporling
Latin name : Laetiporus sulphureus
Here's another shot of this remarkable and sometimes bizarre looking species

Welch prächtige FArben zeigt dieser Pilz!!! Sehr shön sind auch die Tropfen - echte Hingucker! Sehr schön und dekorativ ist auch das Blatt, das sicher sanft auf dem Fruchtkörper des Pilzes gelandet ist...
LG!

Amazing how different this fungus looks in all three of your images .... this one is very handsome with this colour combination and little drops of rain ... I think I have seen it many times - would be too chicken to eat it.greetings, Adele
