Thanks for the confirmation! Yes, I do plan to eat it. It's crazy, it looks just like chicken flesh! How should I prepare it?

Im no TI But when your sure what it is if u rnt already. You can saute some of it in a pan with butter to get a taste test. Cook until the outer skin turns darker in color. Its best to try just a piece of it and wait an hr see how u feel. The cooking in butter helps u get an idea of its taste from there u can decide what to add it to. It looks like u have it ided. Im not anyone to go from if your unsure atall. Im just following suit wit midnightcity.  Chickens are good ive found.

Thanks guys. After doing further research I believe this species is L.  Cincinnatus. Had white pores. Growing at the base of the dead stump too. It actually had a couple surrounding plants growing straight through the fruit bodies.
I just fried a portion up in butter, garlic, salt and pepper and I can really see how this mushroom got it's name. A bit softer/slimier though. I think this is partly due to it soaking up so much butter while cooking. What's the best way to go about storing it long term?

dangit I shoulda left my one comment mentioning there are white pored ones also which I thought I seen yours was. I had guessed wrong but mentioned it anyway :wink: I deleted thinking it was L. Sulphureus. Glad to hear you figured it out and cooked it up though :wink: I found one of these the other day for the first time growing from a stump too. Right on!:mushroom2:

yes looks like a chicken but make sure you know what substrate it was growin on .There are repots that Some that grow on eucaleptis or conifers (Pine) can gause some gastric upset. But not to worry nobody has ever died from it
