Has anyone ever eaten these,,I've seen these alot near me but have been afriad to try them,today a friend gave me a bag of them and said to sawtee them in butter for 20 minutes ,he said he eats them all the time--!!!!!!!!¿
-
Next door neighbor is a mushroom junkie - he had a fresh one about two weeks ago. I think most mushrooms tend to follow a KISS principle for cooking - just a little butter or oil, and light amount of spice to add flavor.
-
Never tryed them... I will stick with the ones that havent killed me...
-
I stick to a few wild kinds only but i"ll try these tomorrow.Unless you want to try them tonight and call me tomorrow that your OK----

\I should get you some beefsteak mushrooms,,,,the best ever...
-
Beefsteak are much much better than chicken of the woods..you can eat these if you have to ,if your in the woods and starving to death eat these and mix them with 2 pounds of venison and a 6 pack of beer,brownies and milk for desert!!!!!
-
Found the first ones of the season today. Sauteed them up and added them to alfredo. Very mild flavor.

Haha :o ;D
-
I was told I should have eaten them fresh and not let them sit in the fridge for 4 days,,they dried out to much.
-
Think I found some of these on a hike today. Can anybody confirm that these are chicken of the woods? I want to cook some up, but want to be sure.

So where ya from??
-
They look like them to me----they don't have gills,,and eat the fresh..

Unfortunately, I just joined the site, but YES this is a chicken of the woods. There are actually a few types but most common are the following. Laetiporus Cincinnatus and Laetiporus sulphureus. Cincinnatus is definitely the better tasting of the two and it normally grows in spring all the way into the fall. It also grows around a tree out of its roots instead of on it. It grows in a rosette and is pinkish and white on top with white underneath. Sulphureus is what you have in the picture. This one grows on dying or dead trees and stumps and never on the ground. its also more orange on top and the give away is the underside is yellow, not white. It also grows in a shelf style. Both are edible but you should NOT eat them if they are growing on a conifer. There have been reports of people getting sick from conifer chickens. Any hardwood is fine and that's what I stick to. These are both best when young and soft and you want to eat the outer edges as this is the most tender (unless VERY young). Simple recipe - sauté these in light butter with some garlic and shallots and peeled shrimp. These go great with shrimp. Then you can toss that mix right into some pasta.
Here is a picture of a Laetiporus Cincinnatus I found so you can see the difference.
