I think you mean "Chicken of the woods".  Hen of the woods is a totally different mushroom.  I would agree though, they do look like Laetiporus sulphureus to me.

No need to be sorry about the name, that's what we are all here for - to get our names straight.  :cool:

Many consider this to be a good edible.

I found this for the first time very recently. Looked last year and found nothing. The day after finding it i found some again but much more, and found it again several times since. Very odd. It is by far the best fungus i have tried.

of course I washed it off in the sink first forgot to add that part. I tried a piece of it and it tastes wonderful! slight lemony taste and great texture. I am going to wait an hr before eating anymore just in case Im allergic or got the wrong thing :wink:

My gawd, son, you're on fire!  Too bad you passed 'em up before.  These can be cooked and frozen or dried.

Luck of the noob.

I ate some more. Couldnt help it actually tatses damn good!!! I may not freeze it after all :wink: I really enjoy the taste compared to puffball! The texture is like chicken, you get a squash like with a little lemon taste followed by a slight mushroom after taste. Excellent. Try it if u get the chance!!!
