I found these while looking for Blue-foot Psilocybe caerulipes. I live in NY and these where found by a living tree, and a few were growing on the tree. It was rather humid and hadn't rained recently. They were rather soft and felt like they would break with a crisp. Any help id-ing these?
Sorry if the images are rather big, new to the forum :-D

Laetiporus sulphureus.....chicken of the woods mushroom. Anything tender on that bunch isvery good to eat. Chicken of the woods does cause a mild allergic reaction in some people...if you consume it go easy the first time...eat 1/4 cup or so. From the looks of the specimen...i would trim the edges of the "petals" about 1/2" for harvest.there are no look alikes to this mushroom.

lol, chicken of the woods. Seems to fit. I was hoping for something more interesting. Like a very vivid warning. Lol, or something like, eat these and make sure you have a sitter. But hey, atleast I know what they are. There were other mushrooms near there, they looked dangerous.

Chicken of the Woods, indeed.
Now, please read the Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules before posting:
You need to know how to complete a proper ID request, or future threads which do not fit the criteria, may be locked.
II. Accurate mushroom descriptions
It is critical that you describe mushrooms fully and accurately in order to get a proper identification.
A good picture of the mushrooms is invaluable, but not required. Along with the pictures YOU ARE REQUIRED to provide the following data:
* Habitat (where [woods, pasture, state,province,country, altitude] and what [soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?)] does it grow on) * Characteristics of the gills (color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc) * Characteristics of the stem (length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc) * Characteristics of the cap (diameter,color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc) * Spore print color (very important!) * Color that the mushroom bruises * Scent of the mushroom * Anything else you might find important
For a template ID request please see this thread.
For more detailed guidelines for describing your finds, please view this document.
For an explanation of mycological terms please refer to this document .
Very nice find, i like the flavour if the liquid that seeps out when they are cut. My roomate wanted to make tea with them once, hahahaha!! I personally do not like the flavour, however, they are a favourite of many mushroom hunters!
