From a beautiful Laetiporus cincinnatus found earlier in July. It was in great shape, but the lower layers had grown around a fair amount of stiltgrass, and I didn't want to hog it all.

L. sulphureus

That was the one. Wikipedia says:

Young specimens are edible if they exude large amounts of a clear to pale yellow watery liquid. Only the young outer edges of larger specimens should be collected, as older portions tend to be tough, unpalatable, and bug-infested.

I did not follow this advice (no bugs though).

Dang. I'm glad it at least didn't make you sick!

I just trusted my taste buds. Pity though, they're large and I got a lot of sauce quite similar to your recipe, which I then had to throw out.

I'm not much of a forager but next time I'll remember. They're easy to recognize.
