Bob: Thanks for the info. Here are some pics of a chicken that grows from an old buried stump in my yard annually. It doesn't seem to get very orange probably due to the direct sunlight, but also I know there are orange/yellow chickens and those that are typically more whiteish (different species). And a pic of 8 quarts of blackberries. I'm gonna hit the woods soon since I've been seeing more mushrooms over the past few days.
And what the heck....here is a great pic of chants and trumpets I found several years ago:

we set a goal to find 5 lbs and thats just what we found.......... it was really tough yesterday.......... I'm thinking a late good 3rd flush in the latter fist or second week of August, also it will be good for boletes.. MM |

CJ, I am finding them in all my usual spots. Best area is mixed Oak woods on North facing slope. Seems like we have got a lot more rain here in Western Pa. than the rest of the state has. |
| CJ| | | | July 27, 2010
In what kinds of conditions are you guys finding chants? I've been to various types of wooded locations and haven't seen many mushrooms at all. On the bright side though, I did pick 20 quarts of black berries and started a big batch of wine 2 days ago. Also, the garden giant and shaggy mane mushroom patches I started in the spring seem to be very healthy with all of the rain we've been having. I'm expecting a nice harvest of those in September. |

Found loads of chickens earlier in the year right up until the dry weather hit. Found some chanterelles today, they were just starting to dry out. Very dark, very wet, north facing slope covered with mature oaks. |

| Bowhunter| | | | July 06, 2010
MM, Thanks |
| Mushroom Man| | PGH, Pa | | July 06, 2010
Bow Hunter. I always dry saute cut in strips or cubed, with a liitle salt then after some moisture is rendered then add butter and a splash of oilive oil, pepper to taste. If you get a chicken that cuts like butter it only takes 4 minutes to saute ant longer you'll kill it. If you want to get real fancy empty pan of all mushrooms leave oil pepper bits of mushrooms in pan turn up the heat when hot add 1/4 Cup white wine let that simmer on high add 1/8 stick of butter more if you like pepper alot of fresh ground 1/4 cup heavy cream stirring constantly one tsp corn starch. befor you think its think it may need 30 more seconds on the burner take it off. serve on Filet Migion, lamb chops, asperagus or my favorite summer veggie Zuchinni, fresh from the garden. This works well for all the mushrooms I've ever picked..... MM |
| Bowhunter| | | | July 05, 2010
MM, Thanks... What are your favorite recipes for cooking chickens? I ate some yesterday that were baked in the oven with some olive oil. They were good, but I think they needed some butter. |
| Mushroom Man| | PGH, Pa | | July 04, 2010
Bow hunter dont do it! slice'em up put some water in a gallon bag or meal size portions and freeze them....... MM |
| Bowhunter| | | | July 04, 2010
Anyone have experience with dehydrating chicken mushrooms? |
| Mushroom Man| | PGH, Pa | | June 28, 2010
CJ yes those are the blushers. Trumpets have been up and still going.... Chants are up behind the house now..... MM |
| Bob| | Indiana | | June 27, 2010

| Henfinder| | | | June 27, 2010
