It’s late summer in Vermont, and the Chickens have flew the coop. Out in force, the number of Chicken of the Woods mushroom sightings is steadily growing. Right up there with Chanterelles, the Chicken Mushrooms are impossible to miss. This bright orange and yellow mushroom is often found in vast quantities colonizing an old tree stump.
Widely regarded as one of the best choice mushrooms, and with a unique flavor and texture (kind of reminds you of chicken), chicken-of-the-woods is a treat to find here in the Green Mountains by any measure. You can check out the I.D. page here, and a recipe idea here. Enjoy, and happy hunting!
