Chicken of the woods

[Woody]

Hello everyone,
just thought I'd share that I found a Laetiporus (chicken of the woods) on a tree, well out of the way of public paths 😉.

I harvested some but left its attached part on the tree, as well as a few more brackets, so I can get more later on in the year.

These make delicious risottos and omelettes but I wondered if anyone on here knew of any more recipes ?

Anyways , here's more information on these just for reference...

hello Woody,
Awesome find. I'd add the fungi as a pizza topping or any other Bushcraft food that is quick & easy to prepare over the campfire noodles pasta rice.. BTW they're good flash fried in beer batter.. :p be careful of tummy upsets with this type of fungi if your not used to eating it. I would suggest small portions see how you fair.
