fr0sty Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I picked this mushroom off the lawn a couple feet from the base of an oak tree. I believe it's a chicken mushroom. Does anyone know for sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameson Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 yes, looks like chicken of the woods. Past prime, no longer any good eating. It will likely rebloom from the same spot in the future. Keep an eye out for fresh growths if'n ya's hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr0sty Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 From what I found researching, it is the more desireable Laetiporus cincinnatus http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/jul2001.htmlIt just came up in the last couple days. I felt pretty sure it was what I thought from what I read. There are no dangerous look a likes, so I did cook and eat a small amount last night. Tasted like chicken.
