The Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) can also be called “Chicken mushroom” or “chicken fungus”. It is commonly found growing on oak, eucalyptus, yew, cherry wood, sweet chestnut, and willow. The taste of this shroom may seem oddly familiar at first bite as it has been said to taste like crab, lobster and, of course, chicken! Its meaty texture paired with its chicken or seafood taste makes it the perfect meat substitute for any vegan or vegetarian meal. 

While Chicken of the Woods is mainly used for culinary purposes, it also has the ability to fight certain bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus and may be able to stop cancerous cells from receiving nutrients.
