    Danke CHEF I have been looking for this mushroom for last couple of my mushroom gathering carrier. (2 Years) This last weekend I was cutting the grass in my yard I came across a Chicken of the Woods growing on an old plum tree. I'm going to try it today. Thank you. P.S. I'm living in Germany.

    These mushrooms should not be eaten raw. They should be cooked before eating. The cell walls are made of Chitin and your body cannot break this down raw. Eating these raw can cause stomach upset or adverse reactions in some people.

    I finally found some in my woods today ! They come up every year but not in the same place. They make me search for them ! I’m cooking them for the first time. I cooked wine caps last year and used different seasonings to see what tasted best. I thought the BLACKSTONE Breakfast Blend seemed to taste the best for me. Maybe because I associate the texture of mushrooms to eggs! 💁‍♀️

    Nice but to me they seem abit on tuff side atleast when fried was hopping for away of cooking that made them abit softer texture
    So u know they grow every year
    When you harvest them don't rip them out cut them with sharp knife so it's not ripping the mycylum with it then more likely to grow back in same spot
    Best time harvest is when when get few days of heavy rain that's what brings them out of course temperature makes difference also

      Most mushrooms should not get washed before cooking, a brush or cotton towel can help remove debris. Mushrooms are very healthy and a natural superfood. The terms "mushroom" and "toadstool" go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application. A mushroom develops from a nodule, or pinhead, less than two millimeters in diameter, usually overnight. Fun Fact ; Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony, consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. Through the mycelium, a fungus absorbs nutrients from its environment. Get cooking ! Chef
