@WhiskeySandwich thats cool
-
@Oaktavia cool looking, but pretty gross when you unexpectedly grab a handful of it lol. The texture was like wet gummy bears.

-
@dinobarnesberlin that sure looks like chicken of the woods...
-
-
@dinobarnesberlin yes indeed, and there are no lookalikes that have that coloration. There is a mushroom known as jack o' lantern that is also orange but looks pretty different.

I found some chicken of the woods the other day, as well
It’s the coral tooth stuff that really gets me excited, though…. So tasty! Ollie’s good at spotting those ones
Some giant puffballs around, too….
-
@Oaktavia I guess I could go back and gather some of it, but I will just be content to let it be ---for now.
I have a buddy who is way more experienced in all of the edible varieties that are in the area.
But damned if I'm not curious to see what it tastes like.@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot dang!! all kinds of goodness in your neck of the woods from the looks of it.
Good eyes Ollie! -
@dinobarnesberlin the chicken that you have in that photo is nice and thick. It usually is better that way for breaded or battered & fried COTW. I have had some thinner ones that are more like the photo @Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot posted that are still great but the thick ones are where it's at. IIRC they are different types of COTW...:"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.'" - source

@Daniel-San beautiful fungal specimens

@Daniel-San those mushrooms have psychoactive compounds found in them but not the good kind.
