Here are a couple of the few Hen of The Woods that I had found yesterday while foraging through the woods. These babies came from a red oak.

I plan on cutting some of this up and making a chicken & wildrice soup with it later today. ;D

Anyone else here in The Swamp harvest these?

	The Size of your Success can be Measured by the Strength of your Desire !!! There is a difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT. When you are INTERESTED in something you do it only when it is CONVIENIENT. When you are COMMITED to something you ACCEPT NO EXCUSES and PRODUCE ONLY RESULTS. I will meet you on your Turf...But it will be on My TERMS!!!

The last batch I had was gritty with almost every bite (ick). How do you all clean your wild mushrooms (especially the hen of the woods)?

Besides breaking it apart and then washing it, you have to take your time!
