My brother used to hunt any small game he could and wanted mom to cook them up....yeah, like that would happen. 
Did he outgrow that or become a hunter?

Laetiporus (Chicken of the Woods) is the name of your fungi. It is quite edible and tastes like chicken. Great shot!

Thank you! Where were you when I found these? There were several. How do you prepare them? I love mushrooms but don't know enough to harvest and cook them. Been a little dry lately but usually have a lot of different ones. I live in a woodsy area and whatever grows here lives here.

Hunter, trapper, got an elk with a flintlock. Family always said he was born 100 years too late. Diabetes took him at age 45...miss him.

Sautéed in butter. As they get older they can get tough. I don’t normally eat many species because many edibles look very similar. I buy mine at market.

Thank you. I may try them from a store. We have so much to eat from the land and don't know how to do it. What a shame.

Thank you twice. Don't know why but I like frogs. This guy sat and watched me shoot him.

Yes, we miss the ones who leave first. It sounds like he enjoyed the time he had here.

Thank you. Docshark says to saute them in butter!
