Hi there and welcome to the shroomery.
Yes it is Laetiporus species, Chicken of the woods. It will be good tommarow but dont wait more than 4-5 days they grow very fast.
Also, you put this into a thread thats over 7 years old. Next time make your own ID request thread instead of bumping up ancient ones 
These are great by the way and one of my favorite edibles, but some people report negative reactions from them. So i would start out with a small sample to see how they effect your first.
-------------------- Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

Thanks for the tip and quick response, I'm not forum-savvy so I do apologize for my posting faux pas...I'll be out early to collect it and give it a try...small sample first!
As an avid trail runner here in New England, I always see incredible mushrooms in places most people don't get to, and I love mushrooms, so this is a great bonus for me (although now I'll need to bring along something to put them in...), so thanks again!
Mike

So don't wrench the whole thing off, trim off the tender parts, so it can continue to fruit. If you can pinch thru, it's tender.
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."
