Cherry blossom trees seem to be the best place to find chicken of the woods in my experience. My wife spotted this one out and about but despite it being the perfect age for eating I’m banned from eating foraged fungi (she read the horse whisperer guy’s story)

Shit about not eating anything foraged, chicken of the woods is one of the best wild mushrooms in my experience, way up there with porcini and chanterelles. Cheers for the tip about cherry trees!

I hadn’t heard the Horse Whisperer story. Just looked it up. If you don’t know enough about fungi to distinguish a fool’s webcap (gills) for a cep (tubes) you should probably stick to Sainsburys. Chilling.

Today's haul, Winecaps from the woodchip bed in the garden and some chicken of the woods from Sunray Park in Herne hill, was gassed to find the CotW as I've been on the hunt for ages to culture them. The woodchip bed has been pumping out a couple kilos of mushrooms every few days for the last 6 weeks or so, at the tail end now so less from each flush
