yesterday I found what I think, and according to the book, is a grifolia. It fits the discription, except it is bright colored. Not brown and bland, but more orange in the center and pale yellow around the edges. It is yellow underneath. I found it at the bottom of an old oak.
I think I will blanch it and put it in the freezer until I find out for sure if it is okay to eat. . I also found a bunch of big white parasol mushrooms in the garden and a few what looked like king boletus, but not quite. It tasted just like boletus and I am still living.
a great day to all of you.

upacreek, the mushroom you describe sounds like a Chicken Mushroom Laetiporus sp. probably sulfureus from your description. It is too early for Grifola, at least here in PA.

Not at all Laetiporus sulphureus the orange chicken mushroom is good. Younger specimens are better than older as they tend to get woody as they age. The mushroom will also take on the flavor of whatever it is cooked in ie. chicken broth, if prepared this way, they mushroom could be mistaken for white meat chicken due to the mushrooms texture and the fact that it absorbs the chicken broth.

Thanks so much, I am so glad I found this and thrilled to pieces. Yesterday I went to look see if I would find more. No luck. Hope you all will find some.
