Found some Laetiporus
    #18719398 - 08/17/13 03:43 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Got lucky today and finally found some chicken which happens to be my favorite edible mushroom. This is my first real find of this species for this year out of 3. The first 2 were immature and way too small to harvest. This patch had much more than I wanted to take so I left much of it. I should be good on chicken for a while until the other 2 patches have matured now.







Ill be making somthing great for dinner tonight. :evil: Ill probably post some pictures when its done.

These suckers can be very elusive... Last year I found none all year after my main patch was killed off and it was a very dissapointing year. It kind of sucked finding my first 2 patches this year immature but they will grow up and this year is looking to be a great year for the chicken of the woods :thumbup:

I need to go back and keep checking the spot I found them the first time. I'm totally consumed with blue-foot hunting, and black trumpets!  :derpyum:

Blue foot hunting does look like alot of fun. Unfortunately I wont have a chance at finding any active species in my area for a few more months, but i have been being kept well entertained in the mean time by a large variety of edible and interesting fungi:biggrin:

Its fun because you have to decide on a mountain or forest, then key in on where the right tree species and geology is, then when you zero in on the micro habitat with enough decaying wood, you get your ass down on your hands and knees and start rummaging! Helps to be very high...:getstoned:

Im really jealous you guys get to hunt for them in a more natural environment.

Around here the active species live in public areas like open lots, flower beds/landscaping, or pastures /fields that are private property. It is very in the open and people will see you and wonder what you are doing.

I enjoy the vibe of the forest much more than looking in public areas. I can only imagine the joy that hunting actives in the forest would brind me. Im always looking out for bluing Pluteus and Gymnopilus when im out in the forest, but unfortunately ive not yet found any.

I'm not really in the prime bluefoot habitat, cuz i'm in Georgia. Weilii hunting in GA can be like your guys' situation though... Some of the best fruitings I've seen are in totally open public places, libraries, construction sites, etc. But if you get out there in the woods you never know what you might find! I have heard cyanescens can grow in the forests?

Very highly unlikely to find cyanescens in the forest unless its growing on alder debri or in thick blackberry brambles. which only happens on rare ocasions.

The only cases of natural patches in the forest ive seen (on the internet) were in blackberry bramble debree and only had a handfull of fruits.

On the otherhand they grow in huge numbers in the urban environments. Ive never found a natural find in my years of hunting cyans.

Nice find OregonBlueShroom!



Found these Thursday. First time picking any chicken o' the woods. Also, found some chanterelles in close quarters (a little early for the area). Glad to see I'm not the only one out there! :smile:

Awesome find! Congrats on your first chicken. How did it taste?

Chantrelles are always a nice bonus too :thumbup: The chants have treated me great this year and its not even September yet which is usually when i get my first finds. I felt like it was kind of a weak chantrelle season last year, so they are coming back full force this year.

Around here (northern cal.) I only seem to find them on eucalyptus.  Perhaps I'm just unlucky, but I'd really like to try them, but have heard bad results from eating when growing on eucalyptus.

Ive also read this about them growing on eucalyptus. Thats really too bad.. It must suck to find such a great mushroom and not even be able to sample it.


So I made a simple mushroom veggie stirfry tonight. It tasted really great. Unfortunately the Laetiporus was a little too tender and had a more mushroomy texture than I wanted.

Started with chopped chantrelles in butter with chopped garlic and seasonings


Added onions


Added Laetiporus and more seasonings


Added veggies


Cooked till everything was done this is the final product.

I was surprised at how they tasted. I think I was little overzealous about eating them and maybe should have looked up a recipe first! Haha! I sauteed them with butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Then I took some of the pieces and added them to an omelet w/ cheese.

I think they were a little strong for my application. O_O Haha! I need to dial it down. I like what you did with them though! Maybe I will try that if/when I find some more. The dish you made looks delicious! :smile:

Smashing.

Is that on oak?  Elevation?


--------------------
"Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats."

"The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

100-200 feet above sea level id estimate. 2 miles inland.

I dont think its an oak.. Im really not that good at tree identification. If I was to guess id say i think it may be a large douglas fir stump.

Well, then...  I had a theory just a coupla hundred feet might make a difference.  And a bit further inland.  I've been wanting to get up on some of these ridges but haven't scoped out access.  It's just a bit too steep for a frontal assault, was thinking about climbing gear today, rope myself off to a tree up top and not have to worry about sliding 100 ft down the slope.  Yeh, right, said that little voice in my head. 

That bark looked like an ol' piney stuff to me, but what do I know?  I thought they preferred hardwoods but appaently not, kewl.
