”CHICKEN OF THE WOODS aka sulphur shelf

(Laetiporus sulphureus)
Blows my mind that this video is nearly 10years old (I’ve had to edit it - find The Foragers Channel on YouTube for the old stuff). Been reminiscing about older videos lately and processes for cooking up ingredients. So I’m gonna bring that all back soon with a new shiny style of content on here and YouTube once I’ve got my head around the kit.
This fungus is out all over and I love to describe it as this yellow alien brains exploding from trees. We shaped it into a real chicken shape and roasted it to see if we could recreate a classic roast on this meaty chicken-texture like fungus. It was great.
Known for its meatiness high protein content along with a huge amount of benefits. As with most wild fungi it must be cooked and there is always a risk as some do get gastric upset from this. In my experience it’s 1 in 100+ but many sources say 1 in 10…. If you want to try something you haven’t had before cook a small piece well once you’ve done all the appropriate ID checks.
