Great thread folks. Mushrooms have been a life/game changer for me, kicking some bad habits and triggering a health/fitness lifestyle I didn't know I had in me ... sadly it took until my 50's to find it. Good stuff!
@twin from closer inspection, they were a little older than I had realized. I chose not to eat this cluster. I have had some before though, breaded and fried tastes sort of like chicken tenders.
@twin if they look slimy, or darker in some areas. Or too buggy, no go. Its pretty obvious when they are too old. I have found chicken of the woods probably 7-8 times at least but only found 1-2 of those times they were ready for consumption.
@seawolf honestly it’s been a tough sell to get my kids to eat them just sautéed so I’ve held off being more adventurous. If you have a good recipe let me know and I’ll try it out next time we have a bunch pop up
