Krull Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 No experience in picking hens. These look a bit like turkey tails although they are a lot more fleshy than the turkey tails I am used to. Are these young hens? Looks like they are overgrowing a yonge tree sapling.

svs Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 What kind of texture they have? Hens at this stage should be very soft. If you take a small bite of it should feel almost as bite from supermarket mushroom. To be honest they does not look like hens I find in NJ. Is tree an oak tree?

Krull Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The fact that they are much thicker than normal turkey tails is what really through me off. They are also very soft and do not feel woody at all. The saplings that they are growing on are maple trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svs Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I usually find hens at the base of mature oak trees, alive or dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
