Today I spotted a beautiful orange and yellow mushroom out in the woods. I came inside and started doing some research. It was an easy find. If you look up large orange mushroom you get Chicken of the woods, a very popular and highly sought after mushroom, that does not have any dangerous look-a likes. I checked a bunch of resources and they all agreed, so I took the boys out to the woods to get us some shrooms. They were fascinated by the mushroom and helped me collect it into our sack. It was about 2-3 lbs of mushroom. We took it home cleaned it and did our first test. Sauteed with a little olive oil, Salt and pepper, and you may not believe it, but it tasted like chicken! Well at least it reminded us of chicken, even the texture was reminiscent of chicken. Brittani does not like mushrooms, but she said she really liked it. What an amazing find! On the menu this week is Chicken, vegetable, and chicken of the woods soup.
