RE: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner - Mushroom Buffalo Wings Recipe
I have pulled out my mushroom book. Once again, I wouldn't have even considered something that looks like that to be edible and especially not tasting like chicken. I wonder if we get them here...
Yeah they are up there, though don't harvest the ones off evergreen trees since they pull some mild toxins out of those trees. Stick to hardwoods. The bright orange makes them look dangerous but they are one of the best tasting mushrooms out there.

How do you know so much about mushrooms?
My grandpa from germany used to hunt them in the forests there then when he moved to ohio he hunted for morels. I kind of picked up on it after i moved out of arizona since so many grow around here.

I'm supposed to be living in a mushroom hunters' paradise but I only trust myself to identify puffballs, oysters and shaggy manes.
Chantrelles are pretty distict to id. Chicken is pretty easy just be sure its on a hardwood tree. Maitake or hen of the woods is another easy one to id since nothing looks like it and it also tastes just like chicken. They are just hard to spot.
