I would love to see a Hen cleaning video if possible. In Michigan I always find them just full of dirt and grass and would love to figure out how best to process them from the field. Thank you as always!

Yep It’s on my list. I have older videos but they’re low quality. It’ll be done this fall.

Much respect for your informative videos chef! I just found a beautiful slew of chickens on my willow tree!! I’m going to take your advice and sauté in butter and then freeze.

A local chef just knocked on my door & asked if he could forage my COTW. He makes mac & cheese with it. I didn't know I had it! Yes, I gave it to him for free. Hope he does well with it.

You're definitely way more experienced than I am with this. I would be very interested what you think of my rules. 1. Never pick more than two thirds of a specimen and the smaller the it is the smaller proportion is allowed, if one third isn't enough for one meal then leave it. 2. I always snap rather than cut with a knife, both with harvesting and prepping. It weeps less and preserves the very appealing fibrous texture. 3. If it is at all on the 'over mature' side of ripe, feels woody, leave it to spore and return next year. 4. Share. Apologies if you've covered this already. Jay. Subbed.

If that’s what works for you, do it. Imo there’s no point in leaving parasitic mushrooms on the tree or only taking a small piece, they will be buggy in a couple days or woody. Snapping mushrooms off is more aggressive than cutting them, mushrooms are delicate and you’ll bruise and crush them, and just breaking them off isn’t possible sometimes-cutting with a knife is the cleanest, and least destructive way to harvest. Hope that’s what you were looking for. 🙂

I found about 9 to 10 lb a day on One tree. I gave about 4.5 lb to a local chef. Since I've never prepare these before I'm trying to figure it. The tree was still standing and alive it just had a core that was starting rot.

Does the best one ever feel a little mushy? I cleaned my first one tonight, and the round mushy parts I threw away, but maybe I shouldn't have? They felt mushy compared to the rest.

I found a young frond like you got last year today, but they were concerned with bugs when I collected them, how do you clean the mushroom free of bug & bug droppings?
@foragerchef4141 Жыл бұрын
You cut away the mushroom until you don’t see any bug holes and all you have is clean, perfect mushroom. If you don’t remove the buggy parts they will continue to eat the mushroom in your fridge and grow. They get big. 😅
