Hi Dinesh Ji, Nice to know that you could confirm *Laetiporus sulphureus* is distributed ubiquitously in India. I am only assuming that the photographed mushroom is a very young form of the mushroom. *Laetiporus sulphureus* is mostly found associated with tree trunk which they eventually decompose. Hence my speculation is completely based on probability , there is ever possibility that the fungus which you have recorded may be something different.
