SheepHeadReaper Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Found this 7 pound Sheep Head (Hen of the woods) last night. It was in a hallowed out beech tree and must not have seen daylight? Never had one this white. Anyone else seen this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BastedBrew Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 That’s cool. I’ve heard about “white hens” but never seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staveshaver Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Nice. The more they're shaded, the closer to the tree, and the tighter they're tucked into the crotches of the root buttresses the whiter they seem to be, but they sometimes end up all wrinkled and distorted in shape being tucked in tightly like that. But those are growing outward and seem well formed. Are they white because they're growing on a beech? I've never found one on a beech.

SheepHeadReaper Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not sure if it’s white because of the beech. But yes that a beech I do well with beech trees here in NEPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Oak Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I’ve found one around my place. Really pale tan on top. It grows the same every year too so it must be a genetic variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I've been finding a bunch of white hens this year. Maybe because of all the rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I've seen hens on a tree with 3 distinct color phases. I've also tried to hide their presence by covering them and to a certain extent, their color bleached. Here's a light tan colored one that's growing in my back yard. It's a little past prime, starting to dry, thin petals. Looks like a candidate for hen potato chips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
