That is a great point , thank you for that. There was another patch just off the trail that I didn't harvest. I should have shown that and the reasons for leaving it. Thanks again for the comment and for watching.
Although you can find them anytime of year, Fall is the best time to look for these tasty treats. I filmed this in October in Wisconsin. When the leaves are falling, you don't have to step too far off of hiking trails to see them. Hope this helps and good luck hunting!
@mrsenstitz, that's a great point! I recall reading somewhere that we shouldn't eat the type of Chicken of the Woods which grows on coniferous trees, even though they are essentially both the same mushrooms.
Hi : friend, you can eat because you know the mushroom, like me i will walk away not to touch it, so please what st are you in? a u kh- lao- viet or ph? i am kh, i want to know more a bout benefit of mushrooms, please show how you cook, thank s 2 T up for u👍👍. please show more✋.
@samsien9105, I can't wait for our spring forage season; I plan on making a few videos of the wild edibles that I collect, so please stay tuned for this (The season in Wisconsin usually begins around May). Thanks for watching!
yes, you can pressure can them OR just pickle them... drying is easiest but they turn a little 'tough' .. soak in tap water for 24 hours THEN cook them in LOTS of water..
Honestly, I don't recall... I do know that it was severely damaged during our crazy winter storms this year; its crown came down over the ski trail under it. Given its condition and the fact that it was right there on the trail... it very well may have been.
That's a pretty definitive statement. You might be living under a rock if you didn't know that chicken of the woods is the most common name used for this polypore. You'll find it in identification books and in every mushroom/fungi group.
Make more of this mushroom videos, i love to learn about mushrooms
Indra,
Thanks so much for the feedback... I promise to add some spring mushroom videos. Please stay tuned.
I am so glad to have found your channel! I'm going to try to make turkey wing tea for my allergies tp see how it works fir me!
Many thanks...
2:10 best part!
Knowledge of the forest... Is So Great 😍
@snowballz7301, I'm always amazed to think of our ancestors used their knowledge the forest to provide for them. Thanks so much for watching!
New friend here, Love the chicken of the woods. Can't wait till this years harvest
Neither can we! Thanks so much for watching!
I appreciate the medical and scientific information that you include.
What's your knowledge on white chicken of the woods?
Very Informative, I hope there is more to come.
Thanks for watching... Now that it's spring, I plan on getting out for more foraging trips! You bet I'll shoot some more videos.
I want some chicken in the woods. Very informative. Thank you for sharing 💯✅👏👏👏🔥
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching and commenting, and good luck with your mushroom hunts!
use mesh bags when foraging for mushrooms
That's a good point. I just recently learned about why. Thanks for the input.
great
Thanks for watching!
Awesome content 💯
lifelong mushroom picker.. great video...but please teach people to leave some behind.
That is a great point , thank you for that.

Very informative 👌👍
Thank you... I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great Vid P. Some good ID there
Thank Dennis!

Are you going to take it all??!!
I would! Every crumb
What’s the best time of year to harvest them in Minnesota?
Although you can find them anytime of year, Fall is the best time to look for these tasty treats. I filmed this in October in Wisconsin. When the leaves are falling, you don't have to step too far off of hiking trails to see them. Hope this helps and good luck hunting!
Maybe clean, prep, cook, and grind!
Maybe.... I can't wait for next year's autumn mushroom season!
It is important to know what the fungus is growing on. Eucalyptus for example, is not safe to eat the polypore from.
I don't think there are too many Australian trees in Minnesota...

wonder if you could 'CAN' the mushrooms.
yes, you can pressure can them OR just pickle them... drying is easiest but they turn a little 'tough' .. soak in tap water for 24 hours THEN cook them in LOTS of water..
That's a great question... I may need to look into this during our spring forage. Thanks for watching!
@robaldridge6505, Thanks for the tips! Now I'm curious and will need to look into this.
Are you a Pacific Islander, from Guam?
I'm actually from Hawaii.
It is extremely filling. You cant eat a lot. Is that tree marked for cutting?
Honestly, I don't recall... I do know that it was severely damaged during our crazy winter storms this year; its crown came down over the ski trail under it. Given its condition and the fact that it was right there on the trail... it very well may have been.
I want some chicken 🍗
Come out to Wisconsin!
Know what they call bats.... Chicken of the cave.
😂 too funny!!! Thank you for that!
@@pardon_this_1 High 5. (Anchorman2)
Good info , love learning these things, very useful.
Iguana are Tree Chickens, they BBQ up really nice
@@robaldridge6505 I would love to try some BBQ iguanas.. Our tree chickens here are squirrels. Happy hunting!
It's called chicken mushroom not chicken of the woods
That's a pretty definitive statement. You might be living under a rock if you didn't know that chicken of the woods is the most common name used for this polypore. You'll find it in identification books and in every mushroom/fungi group.
Great information but I thought you were going to be COOKING them to ?;
