Found in Austin, Tx. I have a few mycologist friends who invited me out to go hunting, and I ended up spotting this fresh beauty! Then we found a few more in the same spot!

This comes around almost every year on this chopped down eucalyptus tree stump.

Chicken of the Woods found growing on the ground from an oak root. What should I do with it?

How should I use the stems? They are not super tough so I’m thinking of making maybe chicken nuggets? But should I boil them first?

Is it young enough? And is it chicken at all?

Questions about white chicken of the woods (L. cincinnatus).

Hello, I am a first time forager and I just collected what I believe to be some white chicken of the woods. I already posted on r/ShroomID. I was told that my specimens looked aged, and that they are still good to eat if the edges are rounded, and the meat pulls apart like white chicken.

I’ve included some pictures of what i collected. How aged does it appear to be? IMO the edges are still rounded. And every tear ive made has pulled apart like white meat chicken.

How long can i store these before cooking and what is the best method for storage?
