Another of my foraging bucket list items in the bag (literally). Chicken of the Woods really does feel like eating chicken! (lemmy.world)

I've had it a bunch of times and maybe I just haven't made it right or it was too mature, but I never enjoyed it too much. Oyster mushrooms, on the other hand.

When it's young, it's dripping wet when you cut it, and it cooks up really well. When it gets too old, it gets almost like an overcooked chicken breast texture. You also should cook it same day you get it, otherwise it will either dry out too much, if you store it in a too well ventilated space, or too slimy if you bag it.
