They were a bit porous but the tips were tender. The one I harvested several months ago were absolutely perfect... yield over 18 #. 

Then to work that Lion's mane meal off this afternoon, I hiked looking for hens... nada. But, I found chickens. 

On my property in Brown Co. 

Dry sautee, added butter, minced garlic, thinly sliced onions, black pepper, fresh thyme and heavy cream. Served over pasta. I'm stuffed! 

Found on 09.26.18

Delicate find... Fairy Sparklers aka Xylaria tentaculata.

Made the "chicken" Alfredo tonight with garlic bread ... excellent! 7 days of Chicken of the Woods all fixed differently. 14+# in the freezer!

Thank you, Bruce.  Alfredo on Sunday with the remaining chicks. The rest are in freezer. 

Tweeked the Chicken of the Woods sandwich. Built just like a burger with cheese, bacon, lettuce, onion.

Chicken of the Woods with fire roasted red peppers & all the fixins soft tacos. Holy shisters...win.win. win from the Woods. I give this a solid 5 ?⭐?⭐?.

This was the best sandwich EVER. Sautee shrooms with garlic, thyme, & pepper. Top with Colby cheese. Stack chicken of the Woods on your bun choice, add lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced onions, & spicy mayo. Total killer veggie sandwich. 

I sauteed 14.5# last night to feeze. Harvested the rest a tad early as storms were forecasted and since these were on an uprooted dirt covered stump, I didn't want them getting too covered in mud.

I cut them in strips, sautee in real butter, cool, & freeze them. Don't thaw when you want to use them...just toss into a buttered skillet and finish cooking.

This +5# batch went to a friend. 

This evening's Chicken of the Woods. I harvested only the largest ones & left the rest until tomorrow. Weighed this first cut...5# 3oz. This was only an 1/8 of what's left. 

I'm heading out at 5:30 to see how mine are progressing. I want chicken breast thickness. Yum!

Found two loaded logs the past two days... Almost harvest time.

Sorry for the late response. Found in Brown County Indiana. I was literally on my knees giving thanks...and harvesting for over an hour.

Went looking for gold and found blacks... Nice flush of over 300 black trumpets. Just wow!
