Laetiporus huroniensis

In the Great Lakes region, another look-alike sulfur shelf (Laetiporus huroniensis) grows on old-growth coniferous trees. This species is also edible, but once again, some people have reported upset stomach after consumption.

Perhaps the takeaway from these newly described variations of the sulfur shelf would be to not eat any sulfur shelf that is growing on a coniferous or eucalyptus tree.

White-pored chicken of the woods

The white-pored chicken of the woods (Laetiporus cincinnatus) is another closely related sulfur shelf. This mushroom is white with white pores and grows in a tight, round cluster, not overlapping shelves. It doesn’t really look that similar to the safe sulfur shelf (Laetiporus sulphureus), but they can be confused.

The jack-o-lantern (Omphalotus illudens) is a poisonous mushroom that looks similar to the sulfur shelf in color, but it grows at the base of trees, often from a single stem, and has obvious gills, not yellow pores. Use the check-off system to eliminate this toxic mushroom.

As with all wild mushrooms, you should not eat a sulfur shelf raw. Collect the fresh, tender parts and cook them thoroughly. A hint to determine the age of a sulfur: your fingerprints from handling will show on the surface of a young sulfur, but not on an old sulfur.

GET OUT AND HUNT The sulfur shelf is a large and obvious mushroom that is easy to identify, making it easier for you to start mushrooming.
