I Wanna Try Chicken Of The Woods One Day So Bad! - Tumblr Posts

Lucky find and awesome pictures! That meal sounds so delicous!!

Found these in late September, I had never tried Chicken of the Woods before! I think they were growing on the same log last year, but I didn't grab any because they were too old. I didn't take very good pictures this time. I was so excited that I settled for the "alien abduction" lighting.

They look like pumpkin fingers sticking out of the log.

If you want to know my method for preparing them, here you go:

I brushed them off, wiped them down with a damp paper towel, and cut them into strips to look for bugs. Then I seasoned them and cooked them for 14 minutes over medium heat with olive oil. I flipped them halfway through, then braised them with butter and lemon juice to finish. I served it over a spinach jalapeño salad. It was freakin bomb.

Do not make assumptions about mushrooms you see based on this post. I'm a novice. Some edible mushrooms have dangerous lookalikes.
