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.
