Heute gibt es Hühnchen, Hühnchen aus dem Wald heißt das - war aber nicht im Wald, sondern an der Kreisstraße am Zwetschgenbaum.
Ich bin gespannt, mein Erster 😌

Schöne Portion. Und das war nur der eine Fruchtkörper; ist noch genug am Baum!

Ich brauche inzwischen eine Leiter zum ernten. Wandert immer höher und wächst immer früher im Jahr 🤷‍♂️

#ChickenOfTheWoods #Schwefelporling

I’m seeing huge amounts of #chickenofthewoods #mushrooms these days. Some trees are probably carrying 2-3 kilograms. But I’m too chicken to try it out. 🤷

Everybody posting #FungiFriday photos has me wanting to get some #spores growing!!

We cut down a tree next to our house this summer and we have a pile of logs that are just waiting to be cultured!

I'd really like to do some #ChickenOfTheWoods, but I hear they are kinda hard to cultivate. Maybe something a little more vigorous, like #Shitakes?

Everything You Need to Know About Chicken of the Woods Mushrooms

Celebrated for its meaty flavor and texture, chicken of the woods is most definitely a mushroom worth meeting.

What Is Chicken of the Woods?

"There are two species of chicken of the woods mushrooms: The Laetiporus cincinnatus, which has a creamy colored underside, and Laetiporus sulphureus, which has a yellowish appearance and is also known as the 'Sulfur Shelf.'

"The size of chicken of the woods can range from 2 to 10 inches in diameter, and they grow as a broad, (rather stunning) fan-shaped mushroom on the side of trees. They grow in multiple overlapping layers that resemble small shelves or the layered shingles of a roof in appearance. The mushroom caps can appear smooth or slightly wrinkled depending on the state of maturity and age, but chicken of the woods do not have gills like many popular types of mushrooms you'll find at the supermarket. As they grow, they commonly change color; chicken of the woods can start out as a yellow to orange color and fade to a pale shade of cantaloupe or white when they mature. The mushrooms are most commonly found on the side of tree trunks, old stumps, or injured roots.

"Many people who are new to foraging (for mushrooms and other delectable food items) will note that chicken of the woods mushrooms are fairly simple to find. Given that they are located growing on the sides of trees, chicken of the woods aren't exceptionally difficult to spot — and because of their unique appearance, they're not easily confused with other mushroom varieties.

What Does Chicken of the Woods Taste Like?

"Chicken of the woods mushrooms have a meaty texture when cooked, and offer a mild lemony note that's reminiscent of chicken, lobster, or crab. The 'chicken' flavor associated with these mushrooms lends itself to a reliable meat substitute for #vegetarian or #vegan meal options.

#ChickenOfTheWoods vs. #HenOfTheWoods

"When you are shopping for chicken of the woods, you might notice another type of mushroom at the market with a similar name, hen of the woods. These mushroom varieties' similar names may cause a bit of confusion if you read the signs quickly, but they do not look like one another in their appearance.

"Chicken of the woods mushrooms are light yellow to pale shades of orange in color. Hen of the woods mushrooms give the appearance of a not-so-fresh head of lettuce that is starting to brown. Their name refers to how a cluster of the mushrooms resembles the ruffled tail feathers of a hen, but these fungi are also sometimes labeled 'maitake mushrooms.' They have clusters of oval-shaped caps that can vary in color from gray to brown. Hen of the woods mushrooms are also edible, but do not share chicken of the woods' distinctive flavor. They offer a stronger, more pronounced mushroom essence; thus, many cooks opt to use maitakes in place of button or cremini mushrooms to boost flavor."

Since it's #FungiFriday maybe I should post this delicious #ChickenOfTheWoods that I photographed, but sadly not cpoked and ate, in the Scottish borders a couple of months ago.

Since people are so into this picture, look what it looked like an hour later right before it was breaded and fried. That’s over ten pounds and yes, we ate it all. We also left a lot behind for the next foragers. This was foraged in a public park in #NYC #NewYorkCity #Mushtodon #ChickenOfTheWoods

Here’s what it looked like getting fried up. Different mushroom, but same batch. These one’s shape were better suited for the sandwiches we were making. The basket ball one ended up in a quiche #mushtodon #ChickenOfTheWoods #Edible

Young chicken of the woods mushroom in an unusual shape. It was about the size of a basket ball and was delicious. #mushtodon #mushrooms #edible #ChickenOfTheWoods
