Laetiporus sulphureus ?

[beastmaster]

A few nights ago while participating in a S&R in the wilderness I came across this specimen that I believe is a sulfur conk, growing on the base of a live Oak. There was also some gummosis leaking down the trunk. Just thought I would share the photo.

Nice pic...did you 'rescue' the fruiting body:msp_sneaky: some find them irrestible, others (who are sensitive) find they get unpleasant reaction on eating. BTW certainly looks like Laetiporus sulphureus:msp_thumbup:

Are you going to eat it? Or are you not positive on the ID?

It never crossed my mind it was edible. I have my tracks on gps. So I am sure I could find it. Wonder if it would still be good?
