Dt699516 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Found these in the Red River Gorge of Kentucky. I’ve only ever eaten the orange variety of hen of the woods. These look and smell almost identical but they are much lighter than I’m used to and they feel porous and almost velvety. Think they are good to eat?

vitog Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hen of the Woods usually refers to Grifola frondosa. These are usually called Chicken of the Woods, one of the Laetiporus species. They normally turn white as the age. I often see white remains of chickens all winter long and into spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
