  • 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've eaten it too, very good. It's ceps/porcini I've never found! To be honest I could probably get away with eating COTW, but there'd be a lot of worrying, some complaining and a little 'well you're not giving it to me or the kids' so it's just easier to leave it.
