Shit about not eating anything foraged, chicken of the woods is one of the best wild mushrooms in my experience, way up there with porcini and chanterelles. Cheers for the tip about cherry trees!
I've eaten it too, very good. It's ceps/porcini I've never found! To be honest I could probably get away with eating COTW, but there'd be a lot of worrying, some complaining and a little 'well you're not giving it to me or the kids' so it's just easier to leave it.
