This beast of a chicken of the woods was on my neighbors tree last week, he came over and told me to grab it if I wanted. I took about half, which ended up being 10 lbs.
Super jealous, I haven't found shit this year. Ready to start buying grow kits.
They certainly took their time, I had been going out a few times a week for the past 2 months or so, and only recently did they start popping. I had great luck with chanterelles and morels earlier in the year.
This is basically a Shoggoth. But if y'all want to eat Lovecraftian horrors, go on ahead.
Yes! We cut some into strips and breaded and fried them, straight up chicken strips!
It tastes more like chicken than some meats that "taste like chicken." Looking at you rattlesnake and gator.
It tastes more like chicken than some meats that are technically chicken. Looking at you McNuggets.
Not entirely but it's a good substitute. Doesn't have a very mushroomy flavor and the texture is very similar. Great in pasta.
I love mushrooms and the idea of picking wild ones but I'm scared of getting something poisonous, so I'll just stick to store bought 😬
Delicious! I did some in a faux chicken strip style, did some sautéed in a pasta, and then made a conserva with the rest for down the road.
