Can chicken of the forest be eaten?
Can you eat forest mushroom chicken? Well, there are a few things you need to know here. First, it does sometimes grow on yew trees. This makes them poisonous, so stick with fungi found on oak trees or sweet chestnuts. Also, this mushroom cannot be eaten raw. Many times, I hear people ask, "Can I eat forest mushrooms raw?" No, it must be cooked, and cooked thoroughly. Also, be aware that some people have a natural intolerance to it. Unfortunately, you won't find this out until you eat the mushroom. For the most part, most people are fine.
Is forest chicken delicious?
Very. When it comes to eating this mushroom, I have a very simple and delicious recipe. It is best sautéed and simply cooked. This is a rather dry mushroom. As we all know, it needs to be cooked before it can be eaten safely. The solution is very simple. I like to fry mushrooms in a lot of butter!! I cut the mushrooms into two finger-wide sections, as long as you eat the mushrooms, and treat them like steaks. First give the mushrooms a little color, then add some seasonings and a little fresh thyme, plus a little water. You need to cook them for at least 10 minutes. Make sure the water has evaporated, then stack the slices on thick slices of sourdough toast. Spread the herbed butter over the mushrooms and eat them.
