RE: Mushroom Monday - Visitor in the Garden

in Fungi Lovers10 months ago

I do deep dives on mushroom identification whenever I see a new one in my area. Quite a few are easily identifiable and edible without any fear of accidentally getting poisoned. My favorite is chicken of the woods and of course morels. I might have to make sauce out of some of those tomatoes, they'll all ripen at the same time too much to eat all at once.

Tomato sauce is awesome too! What exactly is chicken of the woods?

Its a bright orange mushroom that tastes like chicken. https://unrulygardening.com/chicken-of-the-woods-mushroom/

Those are really cool, I don't live in the north east any more though!

Chicken grows all over the US except for desert areas but even then they might be up in the mountains where there is moisture in the fall. Usually from september to november is its growing season.
