Photo: s_d_m, October 27, 2017. According to Mycoweb, it's most likely Laetiporis gilbertsonii, also known as a Chicken of the Woods. They commonly grow in Eucalyptus trees in California. We've documented many through the years in the Red Car Neighborhood.
Photo: s_d_m, October 27, 2017. Chicken of the Woods often returns annually to the same trees. This photo shows the fungus growing out of both sides of the stump. The stump was left behind after LAFD contractors did brush clearance in December 2016, six months after it was scorched in the June 19, 2016 fire.
