it's chicken. There may be some moist ones in there but it looks "mature". |

I found my first chicken of the woods this elk season and was not impressed. Maybe I didn't cook it the right way, but it was tasteless and had a bitter aftertaste. Texture was ver similar to chicken....i.e. the name, but flavor was offputting. They are safe in my neck of the woods. |

The tender moist leaves that don't break when you bend them and are heavy with water will be tender after cooking. And when you get some of the good ones and saute them in strips with olive oil, butter, and garlic, you'll be amazed how much they taste like chicken breast. Usually, not always, but usually the more tender specimens are lighter in color, like yellow to pinkish orange. And sometimes you'll find a cluster with a lot of dry "leaves", but there will be tender ones in among them. |

I've heard you can slice the parts off that are ready and it will continue to grow and produce longer without damaging the culture. Don't know if its true or not. |
