Laetiporus cincinnatus Syn. Laetiporus sulphureus var. semialbinus. Found at the base of hard wood trees normally Oak. Distinct from Laetiporus sulphureus because the pore surface is white not yellow. Tom Volk the American expert on tree growing fungi says this species is even better to eat than the yellow pored form, (make sure it is well cooked). Cap large up to at least 50-60 cm wide. Spores 5-7 x 3.5-5 um, print white. For recipe see Laetiporus sulphureus.
