Laetiporus sulphureus

Field Notes
Description:
Was a huge fungus. The first thing I noticed was the mushroom smell as we walked past. A ten minute search in ever increasing circles bought me to this. I wish I had known it was edible. The hand belongs to Anka Bitenc a mushroom enthusiast as well.
Habitat:
This is the first reported occurance of this fungi in New Zealand.; This was growing on the side of a Beech tree. I can only guess as to how it got here, I assume the spores were on the pack of a tourist who did the Milford track having come from a tramping trip in the US.
