@BrianGSDTexoma- Hen of the Woods Mushroom

I found this Hen of the Woods mushroom the last time I went looking for Chaterelles and thought of you...

I made a Stroganoff using the mushroom in place of the pasta noodles. Delicious!

Jed @bauchjw sent me some of those a couple years back. I am not a big mushroom guy but when I roasted them they were damn good. Have yet to find them in any store up here.

I have never seen them for sale in a store. I have seen places that sell them online though.

Wow what a find! I was looking online and Wildfork had some. HEB has a few kinds. I been on the lookout.

I had never eaten the hen of the woods until I found that one a couple years ago. This last on I found on the same tree. SE Louisiana is on the south western edge of the growing area; they are more prevalent further northeast. So I am happy to know where at least some grow. I did find another flush of Maitake on another tree, but failed to mark it. Hope I can find it again.
