Chicken Of The Woods

If they misidentify it, and drop dead, could you be liable, OP?

Are you kidding ? I cover nyc for it! Yum faggot! And it’s in your back yard

It’s a little early for that variety OP they usually appear in the fall

R3 It was growing in the yard. Are you calling me a liar?

Chicken of the woods are sought after.

WTF is Chicken of the Woods? Where do you live that you have hillbillies perusing your landscaping?

R6 i wonder if there’s a machine or device to look it up?

I had two false chicken of the woods in my yard this month, surely yours is legit OP.

They grow on dead or dying tree trunks. I'm not brave enough to eat wild fungi. Death by the poisonous species is very painful.

That's odd; I've only ever heard it called Hen of the Woods, but it sounds like everyone knows it by the other name. Where are you all from? I'm upper Midwest.

Another musical by Stephen Sondbürggenhøven, one of St. Olaf's most popular composers of musical theatre. He was the one who adapted [italic]Hey, That's My Tractor[/italic] into [italic]Hey Hey, That's My Tractor![/italic] And they said it couldn't be done!

R10 hi. Nyc here. Can go by both. But you get a gold star!

Sometimes I love DL.

Casing your joint you will be robbed in a few weeks OP.

Does that make chickens the mushrooms of the barnyard?

In high school a teacher brought in fried puff ball, I had never even heard of puff ball, but it was one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. To me the way he fixed it, it tasted like a really good cut of beef.

R16 is this before or after he fucked you?

Geesh R17, it is really scary the way your mind works.

Depending on what species of this mushroom you have growing OP, you could soon have problems with that tree. I have a large wood full of oaks and have enjoyed this mushrooms many times. The trees that have them for a few years are inevitably blown over in the next big hurricane that comes through because they have been weakened by rot in the roots.

R18 Geesh? Are you a judy blume book?

On our property "chicken of the woods" means "the one trying to get away."

Yup.

I have tried black truffles in Paris with a white wine risotto and, of course, foie gras. The mushrooms taste like a tender filet mignon with a mildly smokey and meaty flavor. Exquisite.

My roommate and I would take low cost local airlines and spend one night in a suite at a luxury hotel which had separate beds (she's a woman) and then the rest of the time at a simpler hotel and prefer to sample the best foods the city had to offer.

What about COCK of the WALK?

Chicken of the Woods is what I call my co-worker's 18 y.o. twink son.

R23 for the prize!

Of COURSE, Mary!

Ask any dryad who's got all the goods!

What's the best fungus?

Someone needs to convince Jessica Simpson that this is another name for raccoon, STAT!

No, it's tuna of the woods and chicken of the sea.

I live in Southern Illinois

Chicken of the Woods.

The idea of mushrooms gives me the fucking gags!

Is Chicken of the Woods the new Beyond Meat?

Thanks, R25. I thought R24's response what pretty good

Actually, Chicken of the Woods and Hen of the Woods are two different kinds of fungus, R10.

Hen of the Woods is Grifola frondosa, while Chicken of the Woods is Laetiporus sulphureus.

Do vegans eat chicken of the woods or other fungi?

Eww wtf is that?

I’m really wondering who walks the streets checking out the fungi growing on their neighbors property.

Plenty of people forage wild mushrooms in states where they're common. It might be for eating, but a lot of the time it's pretty profitable. Chicken of the Woods goes for $20/lb. easily, according to Google. I had a distant cousin in my family in Wisconsin who made hundreds of dollars a week gathering morels when there were in season.

Sounds like the title of a Justin Timberlake album. The sequel to Man of the Woods!

Classic “What’s trashy when you’re poor, but classy when you’re rich?” activity.

It's true. I just referenced family in Wisconsin who foraged for mushrooms to supplement income, but now I live in Portland, and everyone I know here who forages is a food blogger or works in a restaurant.

I forage for fun here, r42. Fall mushroom hunting is the best. Last year was a banner year due to all the rain in September.

I forage for cock in the woods.

But why were they named chicken of the woods?

Mushroom tastes like meat, with similar texture.

Someone made me morels once. They were tasty but I have the feeling sofa stuffing would be tasty if you sautéed it in enough butter and garlic.

More like chicken of the hobos.

Yeah r48 maybe leave the mushrooms for the needy?

Mmmm,...Chicken of the Woods - those woods wouldn't happen to be West Hollywoods, would they?

Asking for a friend...

Ah, I bet my competition for foraging in PDX are happy I am stuck with my partner's family in Eastern Oregon! I bet this spring was excellent.

My consolation out here are huckleberries and morels. Just have to be careful of hillbillies with guns.

r51, I don't think it was a great morel season here based on what I saw online. I was down in Palm Springs unit June 1st though. When will you return?

I'd be afraid to eat it.

Look at this hobo with his stash of chicken of the woods

I hope the rhubarb lady develops a taste for chicken of the woods and I hope someone films her harvesting it.
