TITLE: Foraging Chicken of the Woods

====================================================================


I finally found a chicken of the woods mushroom (Laetiporus 
sulphureus) and had the time and facilities to harvest some and 
cook it. I've seen lots of chicken of the woods in the past, but 
have always been too busy or have been travelling, so haven't been 
able to cook it.

I tried a little bit of it first, fried in butter, to see if it 
made me feel sick as I've heard that it makes some people nauseous. 
I think I'll fry the rest of it to be made into breakfast 
sandwiches, with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise. It really does 
taste like chicken, very lemony sweet chicken, very tasty.
