Very nice video it explains a lot thank you so much for taking the time to make this video it was very informative!

Thank you for being so informative and providing advice. Such a great video.

I found some chicken of the woods today while hiking wifh a friend. Never seen it before, took beautiful photos of it, and posted it on an app. People told me what it was called, and after doing some research, I found out what it was. My friend and i went back to harvest it, but we didn't know how to clean it or anything nor cut it. I de rooted it cause it was sitting on the ground in front of a tree. It had a ton of larvas on the bottom, but we still took it all home. Wish I'd seen your video before i took it, lol. We kept what was good and threw out what was bad. We soaked it in salt water 2 hours because of bugs, but im afraid that maybe we shouldn't have done that because they kind of turned to a gelatin at the ends. I still cut them up, removed geletin, and sautéed them in butter and garlic. They were so darn good. I'm glad i found your video cause dad and i are going to go out and get some more

very informative!! thank you

I've seen these all my life and never knew what they were. I'm going to start taking walks and learning to identify all of these.

Just picked my first one. Sautéed up about a 4 square inch piece in butter. Holy crap, it's amazing. Hopefully I have no negative reactions to it, I really want to eat a bigger portion tomorrow

Yeah I ate chicken of the wood that was growing on a pine tree and poisoned myself bad 😂 My vision looked like I was spinning in circles and my skin was burning up. My dad ate the same mushrooms at the same time and had 0 reaction, he called me a pussy.

I found a chicken of the woods this morning that flushed again this year And I make omelettes with them in the breakfast in the mornings with sausage unbelievably how good it is

Ohhhhhh, see? I didn't know to start out slow, I always figured if I found them I would cook up a big ol' feast for my family! Also, I don't remember about the outside only. I'm glad I DID remember you had told us about the flies (gnats) and worms...ONCE again thank you for sharing this!! XOXO (WV)

One of my favorite mushrooms. Great video Brothaman.

Another well thought out and very informative video. Videography is spot on as well. Chicken is one of the easiest to identify and very tasty in the younger stages of growth, harvesting only the outermost two inches as my man suggested. Cut into chunks, dropped into egg wash then breaded with seasoned bread crumbs. About 1/2” hot oil in a frying pan for about 3 minutes or so. Make your favorite dipping sauce, serve up hot and you are in for a very tasty treat. Thanks 🙏

Super fantastic explanation of everything! I still have never stumbled upon any COW but I've only been hunting for about a year, however your tips about looking for old growth areas (and thus old dying oaks) is something I'm certainly going to remember. I did harvest 9oz (but who's counting?🤔) of chanterelles between yesterday and today that I'm stoked about eating tonight with my neighbor (don't worry, I know they're not jackolanterns 🤪😂). Subscribed!

Great video, best I’ve seen yet for practical advice

Found some today on a big rotting stump. Huge florets and it was great! Thanks for your video

❤

Great advise and informative. Thank you!

Found one about an hour ago in Dungannon Va, but it was about 20 feet up a tree lol I was disappointed. Great video!

I like sauteed mushrooms with butter.

I like to eat but not easy to identify the non poisonous but in Africa we have a lot

I just cut probably three pounds of the gilbertsonii variety of CotW. Tried it for the first time this morning, and don't seem to have any adverse reaction. I'll have some more in a couple of days to make positive.

Great video as usual. Keep em coming. Thanks man! Cheers from Canada.

I really enjoy your videos thanks!

Great video!

yea i’m new to mushroom huntin😎

Found a glorious one growing on a plum tree where a limb had broken off. Wondering if its safe to eat?

Just found one yesterday,that I’m pretty sure is Chicken of the woods, but it’s growing out of the ground, on an oak flat. There’s a dead log about a foot away though. Always been more of a hunter than a gatherer, so I haven’t spent much time or effort picking mushrooms. Just curious what your thoughts are.

Awesome video!! Any chance you could do a video on honey mushrooms, my yard is full of them and they go to waste!! Cheers! 🥃🥃🇨🇦

Good one !!

Do you think it's still possible to find it even if it's snowed a bit? I'm not sure if it's too late in the year or not.

Hello, i've found a handfull of chicken of the woods on dead cherry tree and a lot on 2 live cherry trees, would you recommend eating them?

Was out hunting today and found a huge clump of them thanks for the help boss

Today in September we found a huge amount of this mushroom!

What would be the concern when eating chicken of the wood found on cherry tree?

Im new to this is cow supposed to have greed spots on it
