SEPT. 24, 2012 - Yesterday Pat & I noticed a big yellowish clump of  
bracket fungi on a tree-trunk just toward White Rock from the White  
Rock Bridge (Gaspereau River bridge).  I guessed these were sulphur  
shelf fungi, and, surely enough, when I drove back today, I confirmed  
the identity as Laetiporus sulphureus, alias chicken mushroom or  
chicken-of-the-woods fungus.  I believe the field guides say that the  
outer youngest parts of the brackets are edible? (my own rule is eat  
only the commercially sold kinds, and of course local and fresh).

For any of you who go for a look and/or a photo (I took two, since  
there was a more colourful clump on the "hidden" side of the tree- 
trunk (away from the road).

And, at about 12:30 p.m., the marbled godwit was in its usual place  
in Wolfville Harbour, just west of the biggest mud hill, in the  
drainage stream flowing out of the harbour toward the north.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
