You can use it literally any way you use chicken. I often prepare it WITH chicken and there are times, especially as cubes, nuggets, or chicken fingers, where it's pretty hard to tell the two apart.

@Brainjock yeah man it's totally safe. If You go out picking random mushrooms and trying to identify later you're probably in a bad position, but if you're well familiar with a species and spot it and can positively identify it, then you're fine. Like he mentioned, chicken of the woods is easy to identify, and its closest look alike is edible. Musbrooms like that are a good place to start.

@Brainjock those who die are generally those who act in bravado instead of confidence. So long as you always give your mushroom the time and respect to carefully identify to the species level, you will have a great time. Try finding a mushroom club near you!

Adam, you go out of your way to see a rare mushroom. You are my people!

What a great teacher!!! All humans should know a little about the environment around them. The more you know the more you learn. Great job.

Another reason it might be critically endangered in Europe is that they manage their woodlands so intensively. If you look at videos made in European settings you don't see many downed trees or underbrush. Maybe the mushroom doesn't have enough habitat if they keep removing downed trees.

I came across one of these a month or so ago (truthfully, maybe longer, time is weird). I was wondering what it could be. It was so big, solid, steady. Very impressive to be near. Thanks Adam!

Great valueable intel. I thought the chaga was a ploypore. I applaude your ability in pronouncing all thier chemical names

GENIUS. ❤ Definitely one of the best teachers out there. So incredibly thorough. Love your videos. Thank you soooo much.

I found this mushroom last year while foraging on some dead tree, i almost mistook it as chicken of the woods but was confused because it was just a single shelf, it was in michigan on a hiking trail about 30 minutes from brighton

I just found this!! I wasn't sure if it was chicken of the woods. I'm so glad you make these videos!💗👏 I'm a huge fan!! Love you brother!! Keep up the amazing work you are doing!!

Thanks Adam. We live a long way apart Adam, but we share many types of mushrooms. Your videos have been integral to me finding more edible species. Your attention to detail including the position of gills to the stem have been incredibly valuable. I have a five step process to identifying edible species and so far it has stood me in good stead. Is there somewhere I can share pictures with you? My dog and I search out a lot of them. I had almost given up on mushrooms around my area aside from Scotch Bonnets. This year has been perfect for mushrooms! I have found species I never dreamed grew here. Thanks for everything you do my young sir! You have done so much for me.

Thank you for your time, enthusiasm, sharing your knowledge and for the lack of commercials. A rare bird you are...

Thank you so much for this video, I just stumbled across this mushroom yesterday and as you said from a distance I thought it was chicken of the woods. So cool to find out what it is.

I wish we had more people like this amazing teacher! Much love brother. Keep lighting the path for all to see🙏

Always a wealth of information, Adam. Thanks again. 👍

Very interesting video. I heard about this mushroom when I was starting to look for chicken of the wood, but I never knew much about it. It’s apparently very rare, even critically endangered, here in sweden. But it has a common name actually: ”saffransticka” - ”saffran” is referring to it’s colour being somewhat like saffron.

Thank you do much for sharing your knowledge with us! I, for one, love what you do.

Absolutely fascinating to see the mini cloud of spores being ejected. Thank you so much for sharing that.

I love your videos. Having just discovered your channel I am really happy I have. You create some of the best and most educational content I have been able to find online, and I look forward to the next time you offer your class. We are also working on starting up a small outdoor mushroom grow on our farm in the back 4 acres of woods.

Thank you! This mushroom has fooled me in Mid Michigan and I just stared at it in confusion. Now to trek back out to the bog and do a potassium hydroxide test to be sure.

As always thank you for being such a great teacher!

Awesome as usual Adam. I've found the other 2 you mentioned. And maybe someday I'll find this one. You are my 1st and foremost go too. Thank you for you're vast knowledge.

Thanks! I will henceforth refer to it as Adamporus haritaneus.

Just found, foraged, and cooked chicken of the woods twice this past week, for the first time, then I watched this video! Cool heads up, on the rare chance I find this. I'm heading to a cabin about an hour north of williamsport pa for a few days and definitely going to poke around the forest as we will be surrounded :) thanks for your videos Adam, great stuff!

I found this mushroom, growing on a fallen oak, right across from my cabin in Northern Michigan. I had no idea what it was, but I thought it was beautiful. I often dry the more colorful specimens to use in my miniature gardens. I was so happy to see this video, that helped me identify it!

I don't watch your videos to see if a mushroom is edible. I have no intention of going out into the woods and chowing down on a potentially poisonous fungus, lol. I watch your videos, because I like to learn things, and you are always so super excited about the subject!!!! Sad, that so many forms of Life on Earth are on the brink of extinction, glad you got to document the Not Chicken of the Woods mushroom.

thank you so much for all the great info! You have helped me in my mushroom hunting so much!!

Love the side by side pictures and clear descriptions. Thanks!

HAHAHA! The Swedish name on this one is 'Saffron mushroom'! 'Saffransticka' to the Swedes. "Ticka" is the Swedish, not Latin, name of the group of fungi, "mushroom" is "svamp" in Swedish. "Svamp" also means "sponge" 😂, but in the ability of soaking up water there is a resemblance.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Another awesome video.

Thank you again for another great video.

Every one of your videos is like a college course, I have so many species on my property, thank you for this invaluable information

Very informative Adam, as usual. Makes me want to head out into the woods mushroom hunting. Kind of reminds me of an overgrown Oyster mushroom, except for the color & thickness. I was once told by a Mycologist friend of mine "Don't eat any mushroom that you don't recognize, unless of course you have eaten one before & lived to tell about it"!

Outstanding, sir. Thank you, for another brilliant mycoscopic review. You are, indeed, the funkiest fellow mycosapien, on KZread.

Thanks for the great information,as always....

Hi Adam, Thank you so much for taking the time to produce these wonderfully informative videos. Would you consider tackling the thorny subject of rusula identification in the future please.

What a very interesting find. Great job Adam.

I found some big fungus growing like this here in Northwest Georgia. They are growing out from the bottom of some massive old growth oaks. Inside of them looks like stranded cork. Very dark color. But outside is basically white. Very hard fungus. Brought a small piece home and left it laying on the counter. Kept noticing dust around it each day. There was two worm like woodcutters that came out of it. Would really like to send you a chunk of it Adam.

Great video! Super detailed, thank you for explaining so much!

Wow! I really learn so much from you. Easily!

Hi Adam! Wow, that was a LOT of information!

That's a mouth full. Thanks

Thank you for all the valuable information. Keep up the good work.

Good to the end and learned somethin' new!

Appreciate another great video. One of my favorite things to do when and if you have time is watch the video with captions on. It comes up with the craziest words, great for a laugh.

Wow so much knowledge!! Thank you mate really enjoyed the loads of information!! Thank You 🙏

I'm definitely going to look for these next time I go hiking. Your videos are awesome and you make mycology even more interesting!

Hi Adam! Another informative, interesting, and delightful video! I’ve come across this fungi only a couple of times here in the mountains of sw Virginia. I was fooled into thinking they were sulfur shelf from a distance, too. We have lots of oaks as well as some quite old chestnut logs. I’ve never seen any as large as those! Thanks for all your work and knowledge.

So cool. Thanks for sharing!!

Great vids thanks for the info

Adam, I just put a one minute Video up of some kind of black Stick Fungus I found on a dead mossy log. Your knowledge is needed .

Right on...thanks for the info!!!

Absolutely love the channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge...Would you consider doing a video on Laccaria ochropurpurea - If so, I would be more than excited. Blessings from Maine!

I actually just found one of these in Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve in Pittsburgh! You should go check it out it was giant! I also got to observe the spore "smoke" as you were describing as well. I was very excited to find it given how cool it looked, and was even cooler now seeing this video after the fact and finding out how rare an experience that was!

I've foraged many different mushrooms but never seen those. Good video. Thanks for your time.

You are one of the most informative mushroom people I ever knew. Thanks for taking time to do this video for us. 1700’s Chaga mushroom? Well cool. This is a very cool mushroom. I’d call it a Mutt mushroom because it’s such a diverse one👍

I never told you that YOU are my Mushroom Guru! Amazing videos I hope you get paid for well, because you deserve it. Thank You!

Cool, I do that with pot to get the oils but I put it all in a double boiler and burn off the alcohol, I see nobody does that for shrooms so I guess there’s not much oil in them. Had a great harvest today, drying them in the oven right now.

Thanks from Washington state

Great video!! It helped me a lot with my mushroom hunt. A few days ago, I saw this mushroom (from a dead bamboo root) and I thought it was chicken of the woods. Luckily it was in an old stage and I didn't take it. Im from Texas!

I rewatch your vids, and play them to many. We watch ALL of your videos. You started me to collect. Now I have 5000 listings on Inaturalist 1750 unique and most are local fungus. Thank you for your work and effort.

I'm pretty sure I have seen this one quite often in eastern KS. Orange shelf mushroom seems like the perfect common name to me. P.S. great camera work on capturing the pores!

Adam is my new favourite human on KZread, he’s perfect! 🥰

How did you learn so much? You are so smart!!

i guessed that it was hapalopilus 🙏🏽 thanks for making this video! i love hearing about more rare fungi because hearing about the same edible species can get very repetitive.

Of course I sat through it all. I just found a bunch of chicken of the woods this year! Want to make sure! I done a video on mine so I need to double check and take down my video if it’s not Chicken of the woods! I really thought I was sure but you made me question myself. Thanks for what you do!!!

Yay! I got the Hapalopilus part, at least. It's so distinctly fuzzy and colorful, but the wrong color for H. nidulans. I've never seen the H. crocea in France, though it is here and considered rare, as in the US. Thanks to you and your friends for this closeup look.

@@LearnYourLand Thanks! I've been preparing the revised labels for our October mushroom expo over the summer, so it's been a good warmup for the season. Our weekly meetings begin next Monday. I've asked before if I could help with your CC, which labels this 'hapless' mushroom variously as 'a palapa list' or 'half a lot less Croesus'. It's amusing, but not helpful, and on certain species, it's downright x-rated. 😲 There is a way to delegate it, if you like, or maybe you'd prefer to do it yourself, but they do need to be corrected. Please let me know.

I love you. In an intellectual way. I live in a forest of a similar zone and have learned sooooooooo much. Thank you for your videos.

Great info, I will be cautious when looking for chicken of the woods!

Thank you Adam

Fantastic content!

I have yet to forage a wild mushroom. I'm not confident enough in my identification skills, yet. I am almost sure I have seen this mushroom, it was so long ago, I think I was still living in Kentucky at the time. When you held it up at the end, something triggered a memory. I will watch for this one. I'm living in Virginia now, excited to find out what is growing in the woods here. Thank you so much Adam, you really are very good at teaching and explaining. I so enjoy the way you capture the beauty of your environment. Your enthusiasm seems boundless.

It must be a year for bloom because i just found this mushroom this month for the first time ever and didnt know what it was. Thanks for the info!
