  1. Hello, This came up out of nowhere in my side yard in the past two days (September 22-ish in New England after two days of cool, wet weather). It also appeared in the same spot last year, but by the time I had discovered it, it was too far gone. Approximately 6" tall and 18" across. There's another clump 6" x 6" about a foot away. From my research I suspect it is Hen of the Woods, but the pictures online tend to be more grey in color and this one is more brown and tan, so I just wanted to be a little more sure. Also, this is not growing at the base of a tree. However, there is a stand of oaks and maple about 10 feet from it, and I am unsure if an oak was once growing in this location as I moved into the property two years ago and have no knowledge of what may have been there prior. I cut off a piece to provide a picture of the underside - texture is leathery and pliable but firm, with white underside that has very small pores. If it is Hen of the Woods, does it look ready for harvesting, or should I wait a little longer? Any help is greatly appreciated!
  2. Got out yesterday for the first time in a while....new dad+school=steep learning curve. We found a few hens though!! They are just starting here. There were a lot of very immature or none on trees that we knew to have them in years past. I uploaded a pic of the biggest one from the trip. It felt like it is 15-20 lbs! Also, I could use some help on the ID for the other pictured mushroom. Spore print was white. Younger specimens had a slightly underturned edge on their cap. I think it is a blewit. Thanks and happy hunting! P.S. Sorry about the sideways photo...too lazy to work it out.
  3. The few times I found "Hens of the Woods" they were at the base of dead oak trees, more or less on the "ground", where the wood was light, fluffy, already completely decomposed. I'm wondering if these are the conditions they require or merely a collection of random circumstance: where the spore(s) fell. This past year a guy told me he found several on live Oak trees. Of you that have found Maitakes, what were the conditions?
  4. Does anyone know the fruiting specs on "hen of the woods"? (i.e.: ground temp, air temp, moister, humidity, etc.). The reason I ask is I am finding them around Saint Louis, MO. right now, and want to take a trip to my property a couple hours South of Saint Louis (Jadwin, MO). However I don't want my foray to be a bust if the conditions are not ideal in that area yet. Any thoughts?
