8" Pumpkin colored Polypore?
    #22151557 - 08/27/15 01:39 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Habitat:

In a ravine in a forest growing on/out from under a decomposing oak.







Kinda looks/reminds me of a Chicken Mushroom...

So...it's a Chicken Mushroom and edible(?) "Choice" according to my Field Guide.  :super:

It is. Because of the white underside probably L. cincinnatus.
But it looks pretty old and dry, not so "choice" at this stage. You may still be able to use it in some sort of stew or something, but I'd bet it will be unremarkable.
Remember that tree though. chances are it'll come back.

Definitely cincinnatus.  The entire ventral side is snow white. Been doing my research on it.  Even watched a few Youtube videos!  There's numerous clusters on the far side of the stump in the button stage.  It's my secret spot #1! :lol: 

Thanks for helping with the ID.  It's so great to have knowledgeable and trustworthy individuals be so responsive to an ID request.  Can't wait to tell my wife.  Surprised at my level of excitement!

Thanks again, fellas!

love these.

for the tougher parts--but not the extremely woody parts which are entirely inedible unless there is literally nothing else to eat--you can either do a very wet and long sautee (like 45-60 mins while keeping liquid in a covered pan) or you can add it to a crock pot when making chicken soup to add another flavor layer to the mix.

good stuff, though, and i do in fact find them coming back in the same spot for many years until the nutes are exhausted.

I would just slice off the outer lip....about 3/4"...that's about the only part worth eating IMO...especially when they are that old. They sure do jump out though, don't they?

agree with Thayendanegea in this particular instance...the only reason i've had experience with consuming, or trying to consume, the older parts is that i've gotten over zealous during harvesting a couple times and didn't want to waste the parts that weren't exactly choice.

but zooming those pics confirms that his opinion is def shared for this case.

OK...so I trimmed off the outer 1" or so, and prepared the non-woody usable mushroom portion exactly as this fellow does in this video:



My wife came home as if on cue, with the smell of garlic wafting from the kitchen.  A few seconds later I had popped a couple of pieces into her mouth.  WINNER!  She loved it!  Not sure what she loved more, the mushroom or the fact that I was cooking!  :lol:

Anyway, I'm extremely excited about having stumbled onto this find.  Going to check back every couple of days and gently harvest what nature has provided.

I have a bunch of edible cultures coming - warm weather Button, Black Poplar (one of my favorites) Shiitake, and King Stropharia...but that's a whole 'nuther kind of endeavor.  As between the two, finding edibles has captivated me more and has me wondering about a local club...

Again, thanks for the excellent ID and top shelf culunary advice.  This is my very first confirmed wild edible, and I'm totally stoked for future foraging successes!

Best regards,

N.B.

Nice story! There's nothing better than pulling something out of the wild and eating it. For me it satisfies a primal instinct that feels all but lost in modern society. Glad you had fun. :smile:

They're still good when dried out like that, but I find the small little stragglers to not be so good usually. This is one I found that was pretty dried out and it was wonderful. Cinncinatus is the best between sulphur and itself.



I was lucky enough to find another one this size a couple weeks later. Very tasty mushroom, and everyone who hates mushrooms like it too!
