I have not tried chicken of the woods yet I get so nervous trying mushrooms even when I know they won’t cause harm, but I bet they are delicious if they taste like chicken! I love the relationship you have with your mom that is awesome you two do so much together!

[@jonfisher9214]

COTW is a very safe fungi to try as there's nothing else that looks like it, but I understand being nervous. I just cooked up a batch like chicken nuggets and my family loved them.

[@lauriewest123]

We just found some here in OKla. We made fajitas with it? Just mixed bells from the garden and onions. Mexican seasoning and bam! Fajitas!

[@JenSpice]

I am still looking for this each year but no luck. Freeze drying pine mushrooms this week. 😅 Hope you get some too.😊

[@TexasBeekeeper]

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, but my wife is. I'm hoping to learn from you so I can get some for my wife to enjoy. She would love them! Thanks for sharing

[@america_and_avigailfarm_ki5351]

Hi you beautiful babies

[@tamrahawkes3170]

Love the interaction between you and your mom. I also get to spend lots of time with mine, we are blessed!

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

Good family

[@brigittemiller5073]

That was sooo much fun and so very excited!!!

[@samheadz2210]

Happy 7-10 🤘

[@alanbiesemeier6930]

Definitely a lot of mushrooms. As meaty as they are...the butter and garlic would be first on my list, but you have enough to experiment with for sure. Pot Roast with the veggies and mushrooms added...steak and shrooms, salad...possibilities are on going..😂😂🤣🤣😁😁😎😎

[@TheHoneystead]

It was such an awesome find!!!!

[@Cdfarms]

Heck fire.. I’ve always just kick them off and destroyed em!!! I didn’t have a freaking clue…..got a bunch on my farm!

[@justinwall6665]

Recipe alert! We dip in an egg wash, toss in fish crisp. fry in butter. Serve in a basket with fries and bbq sauce. My kids love the "chicken fingers". Tastes like a mozzarella stuffed chicken finger. soooo good.

[@indecisivegardener]

We just bought a freeze dryer. It hasn't come yet, but can't wait to get started. I have so many herbs right now that need to be harvested. Thank you for showing the basics.

[@memagranola]

Excited to see drying herbs video. I have a wild mint plant too. Love you & your mom’s videos ❣️

[@rogervidal8059]

One of my favorite mushroom 🍄 very good find guys!!!!!♥️👍🤚

[@brigittemiller5073]

It was such a sweet find…one would have made our day ….but three !!! What a jackpot!!

[@kentcostello5286]

You girls are awesome full of good information and great ideas keep it up please

[@sammieathome9417]

I’m so impressed with the way you preserved foods. I’m learning something new every day. Thank you for sharing!

[@harriettejensen479]

Please post your recipes, they sound great!

[@Chris-te8fg]

Where I live we have King Bolete shrooms , have had them powdered and sprinkled on top of popcorn and used in soup stocks , In Austrailia they have a thing called "chicken salt" made by dehdrating chicken skins and powdered it with salt and other stuff.. im no expert, never seen it except on KZbin, might make a cool new spice for smoking or baking

[@scentsbyemebathbody3161]

I’m just starting to learn more about mushrooms in the wild …so excited..! More exciting is my Harvest freeze dryer is coming anytime !! ❤. Love ya guys !

[@KrisAndLarry]

We love love love our freeze dryer. No wild mushrooms in arizona. Not enough water ;)

[@VeganAJohnH]

I have not tried chicken of the woods either. But I am sure they taste good. It's good that you found three growing together. Maybe nature is rewarding you both for your great work on how you treat your wildlife & surroundings.👍🙂

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

Tender edge of Chicken of the woods is best, thicher parts can get bitter.

[@antoniosanford4675]

This was really cool. Have you thought about selling that stuff freeze dried?

[@charlesvaughn5055]

really enjoyed the information on the chicken of the woods mushrooms. thanks for all your videos, and help

[@carolannhebb5385]

i just found a big chicken in my wooded area so early but there it was.thank for ideas

[@tyo9384]

We love COW!! I will can it when we get an abundance. Last year we learned to bread and fry and wow oh wow that was delicious!! I can't believe we never heard of that way to prepare before in all our years of foraging COW. I will have to try in a sandwich like you suggested!

[@cindygere]

I want a freeze dryer soooo bad! I keep nagging my husband. He says I need a sponsor to pay for all the food preservation I do. Fruits, veggies and meats and all the equipment I want. So I told him to ask his boss if he would be my sponsor.😂🤣 Love your videos! 💗🙏

[@dertythegrower]

Another use for the hash freeze dryer, funny to see you get more uses out of this.. Found these last year in MIchigan, huge clusters bigger than a hat.

[@dertythegrower]

Wish I knew at the time, would have harvested .. live and learn. Thanks for sharing the farm

[@brianhina8538]

Lemon Balm and Butter.

[@gayle.hampson]

Do you get puff balls there, I think they are one of the best wild mushrooms..and they can be frozen

[@andikerr3809]

Can you use a dehydrator ?

[@beckieeldred5816]

Good

[@brigittemiller5073]

First!

[@TheHoneystead]

Lol winner winner chicken of the woods dinner

[@pinklemonade1300]

I save pheasant backs for making Bacon bits

[@TheHoneystead]

Ohhh yum!!!

[@brigittemiller5073]

Ok we need that recipe please…

[@beccam1007]

Do you have to steam them and freeze them first? Some people say yes but others don't so I'm not sure if I should

[@DaveW812]

Recently found your channel...love it! I've thought about buying a freeze dryer for a couple years now.. did you get the no oil pump or just the premium? If so is changing the oil easy?

[@TheHoneystead]

I just have the premium pump and the oil change is not bad at all. Plus I can filter the oil and use it again.

[@bobandkaren2011]

Hi, were the mushrooms dry enough to powder?

[@zebrabing]

I am in the UK. Do you put oxygen absorbing sachets into the bags? I am on the verge of buying a freeze dryer.

[@tyo9384]

Which size freeze dryer do you have?

[@omercorlu]

👍

[@marieschlatter9245]

Do these mushrooms regrow in the same spot year after year?

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

Yes, a good sized oak log could fruit for many years.

[@markbottoms64]

is this the same mushroom as hen of the woods?

[@brigittemiller5073]

It is different mushroom

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

Hen of the woods is Grifola frondosa, Maitake, a fall fruiter, and Chichen of the woods, Laetiporus sulfureus, L. cincinnatus, are generally summer fruiters.

[@markbottoms64]

thanks for the info, y’all… i appreciate you!

[@jeansaunders1871]

Just chicken mushrooms. Not chicken of the woods. Too many people confuse the name with hen of the woods.

[@ONWOTE]

hello,do you have a plan to install a security camerain your homestead or somewhere? We willing to sponsor one to you,so any interested in such sponsorship?

[@suekwisses3853]

Can you make your videos a little longer and more often?

[@dp26385]

Do these have Psilocybin in them? 😇

[@dertythegrower]

Nope.

[@shanedevlin6097]

Why not eat chicken problem more protein
