Hen Of the Woods find today
    #6121146 -

Friend of mine told me he was finding some decent hens lately.  I decided to check my regular hen spots and found this monster.  Tipped the scales at 13.5 lbs.  There were 3 more of equal size, but I could only carry this one.  1 Mile hike back to my car heh arms are killing me.









I'll update if I go back and get the rest. :thumbup:

Thanx toxicman...can't wait to eat them. Found in the exact same spot every year. Just goes to show, if you take care in harvesting, you can enjoy them for years to come.

I went back to the same forest after dropping the first big one off at home. I found some more, as well as a few H. Ulmarius.

Here is a couple pics of the mixed bag. H. Ulmarius + hens



Pics of the Hens:







This forest has a TON of oak trees, I hardley got deep into it before I was filled up with hens again.

yeah, it's strange where I live too. I only find them in one forest anywhere around here. There are other forests with oaks etc, but never any hens in those. I've got a different forest I go to for every type of mushroom I hunt.

One forest for hens, one for H. Ulmarius, One for Chickens, one for morels etc. I just jot down notes every year as to which forest I found what in and at what time of the year. Then i know when to check the following season.

I found these 3, 2 weekends ago here in the Omaha area. They totaled 14 lb.'s total after cleaning. THere was not much cleaning involved except for cutting some dirt off of the root ends and some spiders in em. They were very fresh and bug free.http://http://

I have picked wild mushrooms for over 30 yrs. I built a grow room for mushrooms in the early 90's and grew oyster mushrooms with great success for the first attempt. Out of 20 bales i only had to throw 3 out because of contamination. Now i want to grow again. I currently have King and Blue oyster mushrooms in the GC. The mycelium is going nuts. It is growing through the cardboard boxes i used. I also have some in plastic bins and one container growing on cardboard. In two containers the mycelium is like cotton and over an inch tall....

I took a piece of the maitake and put it in a LC in the glove box and after a week i had some mycelium, but gray like stuff on top of the LC. I threw it out, not knowing if it was mold or what. Has anyone tryed to make a LC from fresh mushrooms?
