--Apple-Mail-3-834426679 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed 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. --Apple-Mail-3-834426679 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Arial" size=3D"4" style=3D"font: 13.0px Arial"><b>SEPT. 24, = 2012</b> - Yesterday Pat & I noticed a<b> big yellowish clump of = bracket fungi</b> on a tree-trunk just toward White Rock from the White = Rock Bridge (Gaspereau River bridge).
