Pow76 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm fairly new to foraging...But I found what appears to be chickens with some kinda white chalky, crusty substance on the caps. Found in a stand of large Oaks with mixture of Hickorys.... KY. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think this is something other than Chicken Mushroom (Laetiporus species). Is the flesh rather tough/fibrous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow76 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It did feel pretty firm although I didnt not harvest due to not being sure of its identification. Thanks for your reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Could be Meripilus sumstinei. Does it stain black when you rub it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
