You can safely eat it if you have a gun and a condom with you.
jk yeah they are the chicken. They look a bit manky though.
Eat em up and tell us if you liked it.
And tell us how you prepared it.

What about the chicken makes it look old? the brown spots are mud. I need to clean them up a bit. But I thought they looked and smelled pretty fresh. What are u guys seeing that makes them look old?

Dull color and it looks ridgy and skinny instead of full and plump.
But mostly the color. Get them while they are bright!

Well its not rotted... just find the tender parts. I recommend sliced into chunks, dipped in egg, then flour, fried in hot oil, then dipped in wing sauce. Chicken of the woods hotwings! Just made puffball crust pizza yesterday. Nice finds

maple is fine. just sometimes its better to err on the side of caution when you cant id the log its growing on. maybe cut away the nastier parts of your mushrooms though, they look a bit janky.
although I'm going to eat some chicken of the woods this weekend that was growing on the wrong tree to see if itll get me sick. (its science i swear!)

if it was an exclusively maple grove you should be fine. definitely if you get a less than perfect specimen you need to cut out the bad parts to avoid food poisoning. but thats just basic cooking ya know? dont eat spoiled food

Which kinds of trees should I NOT eat... all I ever see in my area is maples, oaks, pines and sometimes apple... I already know not to pick it from any type of pine. and there was no pines in sight.

poisonings can happen from chicken of the woods species growing on eucalyptus and coniferous trees. mine came from a eucalyptus stump but they are in such pristine condition im going to eat them anyways and see if i get sick. (who knows i might not have an allergy...i hope)
honey mushrooms are like that too. you need to make sure to ID the wood they grow from so you don't get sick.

I been looking for chicken the whole summer and never found any. I was actually in the woods today just trying to familiarize myself with all the different types trees. I would like to be able to properly identify Elms and dead elms so I can hunt morels. It seems like every maple tree to me has a different bark. same with the trees that look like elm leaves, they all look different to me, and none of them look like any pics or vids I find on the internet... i never even thought of eucalyptus. Im not sure if we have them in NY... But it all worked out, i found the chickens and a big ass puffball. my first edible find

there are also a few different types of chicken in the woods they are discovering. there is a different type in the north east it seems which is different than the western variety.

I have found probably 10 logs with Chickens this year, sadly all have turned to a pale yellow and are mushy. Good to know I will have plenty for next year though!

honey mushrooms are like that too. you need to make sure to ID the wood they grow from so you don't get sick.
Chicken of the woods is also like Honey mushrooms in the way that they are parasitic fungi and slowly kill their host trees, however honey mushrooms are much more prolific and destructive... they like to eat similar woods and you need to know your wood to know whats good... they both have to be cooked to be eaten and even when prepared and picked properly, they can still cause poisonings for people who are sensitive to them... its almost like a food allergy, but a bit different and they cannot test you for it, yet... another caution to practice would be to only eat a small amount when first trying any new mushrooms and never over-do it, ever.. there are cases of accumulative poisonings, so you gotta be careful, always... no mushroom is worth risking your health, no matter how tasty it may be... the most delicious are usually the most deadly.. yet you don't see people rushing to eat death caps, even though they taste amazing! ..a few more things to err on the side of caution with: avoid consuming alcohol when trying new mushrooms... and when trying new mushrooms, maybe wait a few weeks before you come to the conclusion that all-is-clear.

They store pretty good, The ones I brought home to experiment with stored for a while, they even continued to grow, attaching itself the the newspaper I had it wrapped in... speaking if which, i might be seeing possible activity with that experiment, too early to say... Keep em in the fridge, maybe in a paper bag, keep an eye on them, the sooner the better, but they might last several weeks, depending.
And regardless of your experiment, I wont be trying it, ever... i know alot about eucalyptus and have no interest eating mushrooms from it, just like i have no interest eating mushrooms from a buckeye.... i have heavily considered Bay Honeys, but its a no go as well for me.... I try to practice extreme caution with a little bit of prejudice to be sure.

yeah they are in several paper bags in a plastic bag in the crisper. if i do end up getting sick how would you suggest i take whats left to try and get it to grow on a different tree? (i dont have access to 6 week old oak logs right now...)

Ill give you my suggestions on propagation/cultivation experiments if you promise not to eat those at all..... and even still, if experiments are successful, still no eating those mushrooms until they are thoroughly tested to see what the actual results are.
Because Laetiporus sulphureus is variable, taking Laetiporus conifericola or gilbertsonii and attempting to introduce it to an oak does not necessarily mean that it will convert to sulphureus.. honestly I have no idea if its ever been tried, Ive never looked into it.. but I have introduces a Laetiporus conifericola to a valley oak here, right now I have heavy mycelial activity in the area I introduced it, but its also likely just some other mushroom.. its too early to say... but there was no activity at that specific site last year, before introduction... either way, its interesting.

so the plastic bag outer layer was a mistake. shoulda checked on em earlier. the bag mad them really wet with condensation. the two paper bags were soaking wet. so i removed them and put them in a dry paper bad only. remarkably the mushrooms weren't wet or mushy which makes no sense. they are still in pristine condition and ready for me to fry up come friday.

I swaddled the hen of the woods I found yesterday in paper towels and put it in the fridge, that seemed to work well there's no moisture on the towels yet although it has only been 12 hours.

honey mushrooms are like that too. you need to make sure to ID the wood they grow from so you don't get sick.
East coast chickens are fine. You're not going to find them growing on the kinds of woods that get people into trouble on the west coast. I think Kuo suggested that actually they are different species on the east and west coast that look macroscopically identical and need some DNA analysis to separate.

Chickens always have a slight a laxative effect on me so I try not to ever over indulge. Over eat and you're flirting with a case of mushroom butt.
