found chicken of the woods on a walk with the family today

Only recently started learning about mushrooms and this is the first mushroom I've been able to identify in the wild!

What're you going to do with it?
- Had a long walk back and the kid was getting tired so I let it be, it was just used as a learning opportunity for the kid though.
  
  Probably for the best when you're newer to mushroom IDing. But learning opportunities are always fun.
- Eat it I hope 🙂
So is this laetiporous Cincinnatus since it’s at ground level and less yellow?
Nice find. One of my favorite mushrooms. Enjoy.
