Thank you so much for making this video. It is July for me in eastern PA and I found a group of growing mushrooms that I thought was Hen of the Woods and I thought I had a lucky find. When I sautéed them in butter and onions they turned dark black-brown and were very stringy and tough. The flavor was really good but too tough to chew. So your video showed me what I did find. I will look for hen of the woods(maitake) mushrooms in the fall. I was happy this past spring to find morels and they were delicious sautéed in butter.

When I was starting out mushroom hunting earlier this year I found a big Berkeley's polypore which I thought might be Hen of the Woods or chicken of the woods... I cut up a bunch of the thinner edges and tried cooking them. not bad but definitely much tougher and more strong flavored then the actual Hen of the Woods I picked last week. I'm up in the Boston area and I've been finding lots of Hen of the Woods and Berkeley's polypore growing around the base of the old oak trees we have around the suburbs.

There are a couple of ways to check mushrooms for toxins, the tried and true way is the lick test. Cut a mushroom and lick it, if it's poisonous your body will pick up on it very quickly and tell you with a stinging mouth. My grandfather did this test his entire life and lived well into his 90's. You can also boil a mushroom with an onion as the majority of toxic mushrooms share a chemical that reacts with onions and if the onion changes color then you know the mushroom is toxic. When making a stock mushrooms should never chemically react with onions.

So completely relevant. that is how i describe your videos and information. Just this year, 2019, i have discovered your channel, and yes your academy for which i will have to wait an interminable period of waiting to receive an invitation. In the interim, i am actively searching my local area for various fungal growth. Having been surprised recently by an amazing yellow batch of growth on a tree, i took a couple of pictures that are, to me, amazing. I was very confused though as to what i had captured in still life. I did a search on Google for info on identifying an oyster mushroom, as a friend had suggested this type. I had been watching your hen of the woods video previously on another tab, but this was also the very first suggestion Google offered. Hilarious. I scrolled down to see this video, which set me straight, and with your usual ever-present effervescent and animated teaching style, i was able to learn exactly what i needed. thanks again sir.
