What is a chicken of forests?
The chicken of forests is a type of parasitic edible House, which is located on the trunk of trees east of the rocky mountains in the United States. It is scientifically known as laetiporus sulphureus , and although other species in the genus are superficial, the real chicken of forests is found only in the eastern United States. It is a bizarre -looking fungus and is quite popular for human consumption in some areas, although it has a very sponge as a taste some people will find. Mycelium, which is the main part of the mushroom, grows under the bark. The fetal body of the fungus is what observers know as a chicken of forests. The sponge is also known as the Sulfur shelves due to a distinctive bright yellow to orange color that it has when young. The sponge does not have gills, instead creates a fan or a semicircular growth that is sneaky and fungus when the young solidifies it with age.
When choosing a chicken from a forest for consumption, young mushrooms should be selected becauseThey will be softer and tastier. The young are bright yellow and can be cut off near the trunk. They should not be torn because it will damage mycelium and could kill parental mushrooms. The sponge is very pronounced and therefore it is difficult to identify them incorrectly: if the collector is in doubt, it consults with an experienced mushroom hunter.
Chicken of the Woods actually behaves a lot like a chicken and has a scaly white meat. The taste is forest and fungus and can improve various dishes. It is a particularly good choice for vegetarians as an item of simulated menu. The sponge should be fully cooked because some people experience discomfort of the intestines while eating raw.
cooks should use Wood chicken within a few days of selection. It is in a paper bag in the refrigerator before it uses it if necessary, and should be gently brushed to remove dirt and plant material before cooking. The chicken from the forest does not dry well, although some hunters have found mushrooms that it keeps up to three months in the freezer.
