Added 2022-08-09 12:02:48 +0000 UTCToday I want to tell you about this lovely mushroom called "chicken of the woods" It quickly became one of my favorites mushrooms out there, after I just randomly stumbled upon it while wandering in the forest. They grow on dead and dying trees and they grow big! It's impossible to miss them as they are brightly orange and grow in big groups. And yes they are edible and very tasty! I have been eating them for the past few weeks and I am getting pretty good at cooking with them :> It's best to collect parts of the mushroom that are soft to a gentle squish, they are plum and moist on the inside ❀ For cooking: pan fry for a bit before adding oil or anything else to get rid of the excess moisture then add oil and spices by taste. It's a lot like chicken by the texture and can be a great option for vegan cooking ♡ When it comes to finding them it is a bit tricky, they have a pretty random growing pattern and usually appear around late summer and early fall. They are more of a in a right place in he right time find. Please only collect the small part of the mushroom that is soft and edible and let the rest continue it's life cycle so there will be more of this beautiful mushroom left where it belongs, in the woods :>
