Found this tonight. I call it a cauliflower mushroom. Some call it hen of the woods. This is ONE mushroom. When I cut it I missed the second big piece so there are two pieces. Will eat high on the hog now!    |

This small bowel is the stem. Most people throw it away because it is tough. If you dehydrate it and then put it thru a blender/foodprocesser to make a powder it can be used by the spoon full to flavor soups,stews or anything else you want a mushroom flavor in. It will last a long time I also dry the peddles or freeze them. The dried peddles can be used the same as the stem ( ie powdered) or rehydrated and fryed or used whole. The frozen ones I usually thaw and fry like spring motels  The other bowel is what i got from the mushroom  |

I have found that the stems are not that good for later use, as a matter of fact they have little or no flavor when used as a cooking ingredient.
This week the Honey mushrooms have been popping everywhere,my friend and I have picked several pounds each.

I looked quickly at the usual spots for the hens yesterday after the rain the previous night. Found one about 2#.

This is my first year looking for hens and chickens. Has the season already passed on these? I'm in south central Indiana. I did find a Lion's Mane this past weekend. Didn't realize they were edible. Going back for it this weekend.

I can't speak for your area but up here in Laporte Co. I haven't seen any as of yet, with all the rain we got and the cooler temps I would say it won't be long.

I found fresh chickens 2 or 3 weeks ago and looked like hens last week after the rains. Lawrence co

I found a few today. Picked 3, left 3 more because they were a bit old.
