MUSHROOM HUNTERS in the midwest area, there out!!!!! In force!!!
Making some final adjustments today to our deer stands and found a nice Hen of the woods shroom. Grabbed it and then another, and another and another. Also found several Chicken shrooms as well as some Old Mans Beard (aka bears tooths) and a couple shaggy manes and some studded puff balls. Hen of the woods popped up a month ago with the nice weather and I thought that was it. OH NO, round 2 has just begun so if your into em, get your butt out in the woods.
Here are a few shots from today.
Hen of the woods.
This one is about 2 feet by 14".
Chicken mushrooms.
Bears tooth/Old mans beard.
Studded puffballs.
Shaggy mane.
Some of the Hen of the woods already picked.
Sorry for the mess in my van, if I knew I was going to score some shrooms, I would have cleaned it up. NOT.:lol:
Oh, and one shed antler.
What they look like when preparing them so the boy and I had a quick snack.
First off, the Chicken Mushroom. Here you see it in it's intact state.
Then you grab one of those fan like parts and tear it off.
Here is the Hen of the woods with a section removed.
On the Chicken shrooms, normally you would trim of the ends as most of the time, the further back you go from the end, the woodier it gets. This one I trimmed, but could have used the entire thing as it was still young and very moist.
The Hen of the woods I just trim off the fan parts and saute them up.
All done. Fried up in butter, minced garlic and some green onion. The chicken mushroom gets it's name cuz it tastes like, well, Chicken. Actually, I think it taste more like a McNugget.
The Hen of the woods dipped in an onion ring batter and deep fried are to die for:thumb:
