Chicken-of-the-Woods (laetiporus sulpheurus).

As it's name suggests, the taste and texture of Chicken-of-the-woods really does strongly resemble poultry meat.

A favourite find on summer wild mushroom forrays, this mushroom prefers large hardwood stumps still rooted in the ground, large diameter logs (over 12" or 30cm), and also tree trunk sections cut into discs or 'rounds'.
