Is this chicken?
    #19009508 - 10/21/13 05:17 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Wondering if this is the chicken of the woods. Also wondering if you can dehydrate these for use later?

Habitat:
Growing on a dead stump in thin woods. Northern Minnesota, just had our first snow today.

Gills:
None, spongy, porous, light yellowish

Stem:
N/A

Cap:
Orange on top

Spore print color:
I'm guessing yellow?

Bruising:
None

Other information:
Smells like any old mushroom, that is to say delicious.

Thanks shroomers, your help is appreciated.

The characteristics of how it is shaped would make me this is chicken of the woods...
Albino chicken. lol

I dont think its hen of the woods, its not as complex in its shape as the hens usually are.

I dont really think its a berkeley poly either....


Maybe just an older, pale, frozen chicken?

Hen of the woods bruise black. That would be a definitive test. Either way, they are both edible.

It is, but it is now flat and pale, and too fibrous to eat. Check back in the spring and summer.

I've seen some old chickens before and thats what they look like. 
My experience is that with ones that old they're too fibrous to be worth collecting. 
Eating them is like trying to skip the step where you use fungus to convert your wood chips into delicious edibles and instead just trying to eat the wood directly.
Of course the chicken of the woods I collect here in Oregon is probably a different species than yours…

:nod: The old chicken I found looked like this. Btw, Koods, Hen of The Woods grows at the base of old trees feeding on the dead roots. It also typically has many spoon shaped fronds instead of the large ones fan-like ones you see here.

No looks like eather Bondarzweia berkeleyi or maybe  Meripilus sumstinei. It is not L cincinnatus.

Im looking at the pics from koods, in refering to those names.  But the top pics though I do not think they are L. Cincinatus because I usually find it in a rosette formation. not so huge. They are very Orange as you know with a white Pore surface. The L. sulferences usually behaves in a shelving manner. And to complecate things even more Tom Volk of the University of Wesconsin has come up with 6 new species of Laetiporus using DNA The original pics in this post are very old specimens of what I think are Laetiporus sulphureus way past there prime. I have seen chicken stay for the whole year although they are  not valuable in any form at that age.

But to grow in a full rosette from the side of a pseudo-cylindrical body would be physically impossible for any species under consideration.

I'd call it a rotten, old L. sulphureus all day, for what it's worth.:shrug:

Those cincinatus looked a lot more orange than they turned out in the photo.

Thanks a lot guys, the ones on top were pretty white and old, but there were ones underneath that were still nice and orangey. Some did have some black bruising around the edges, so I guess that settles it. My buddy and I took some of the oranger ones, sliced a bit up and sauteed it. Was delicious. Will try dehydrating a smaller piece and see how that goes.

Btw reading your responses fascinates me. I am amazed at how much you guys know your fungi. Keep blowing my mind.
