Chicken-of-the-woodsJust seen my first CotW of the season this morning, growing on what I think is an ornamental cherry tree a few houses away. I'm not sure if that's earlier than usual but worth keeping an eye out.

Oooh. It's been so dry here that we were lucky to get the few St. Georges & morels we've had so far. Any chance of some pictures?

I might try but it's in the front garden of an old lady's house so I don't want to disturb her. It is a very young CotW so pics would be useful. It's very dry here but the tree is still full of life so I expect the fungi has plenty of water on this tree.

Good grief yes you're right, creeping about her front garden with a camera will probably result in you getting your collar felt. I'll settle for a detailed description and spare you a possible night in the cells: shape, colour.....?

It's still very small, about the size of a grapefruit, and at the sort of firm jelly stage - too young for eating IMHO. It's a lovely pale sulphur yellow and looks like a velvety pincushion at the moment and surprisingly didn't seem to change much overnight.
Still, I'll be harvesting morels from my front garden for lunch today so all's not lost.
