I finally had one last year and it is by far my favorite mushroom. Great texture and flavor.

Dry sauté and then a little butter and garlic.

I look for these every time I go to elk camp. We called them goats beard. We would shave off discolored parts then pull it apart into strips about the size of a french fry. Dip them in pancake batter and fry in butter until crisp. So yummy.

I found some last year and they are delicious.  Hands down one of my favorite wild mushrooms.  Saute in butter and add salt and pepper at the end.   

Bet it would be good in a stir fry.

I could have picked 25 lbs if I would have had a ladder today.

That is one of the problems......they can grow higher than a person can reach.

Yeah it's a Hericium. As others have said it's good. I've eaten it fried in garlic butter. It tasted surprisingly similar to everything else that gets fried in garlic butter. In other words - delicious!

[Boss .300 winmag]

Thanks for the replies everyone. 

Me lokiidog picked a couple today and cooked one up with butter, yum yum! 

I think they taste like morels on steroids, I won't be driving by them anymore with out stoping to pick some!

Those were the appetizers before our T-bone steaks.

Going to get some more goats beard tomorrow to go with Mesveedubs meatloaf recipe!
