I think that one day Mother Nature was in a good mood and said to herself, "I'm going to draw a picture of joy," and this mushroom was the result. Have you ever seen anything look so exuberant?

The name comes from its taste, which is supposedly chicken-like, but I'm going to have to take that on faith.
