Awesome!!!View attachment 162078Found a Lions Mane today. Only the second one I've ever found.
I went and checked a log because of your post. Dried out small piece on one side and a cutable not as pretty as chunk as yours on the other. Shrimp of the woods are small be popping. Beer break with the rain before a sunday evening stroll.View attachment 162078Found a Lions Mane today. Only the second one I've ever found.
Its incredibly dry here. Fire warnings out. 60 acres of corn burnt up not to far from here. Ive been checking stumps. 3 dried shriveled up hens so far. We need rain.Must be too dry in my area. Walked a good bit today looking where I found lots of them last year at this time and found nothing today.
If you freeze, tear each petal off in individual pieces then you boil them about 5 minutes, strain, and pack ziploc baggies full of them. You can essentially squeeze all the air out. I can up about 10 pints of mushroom gravy the other dayI poached this nice Maitake about 40 feet from the pavement today while driving by. probably about 15lbs. biggest one I've found ever, only one I've seen this year. do you hen getters freeze some of these big ones? too much for two of us to eat in a few days.

Nice, that one looks prime. I've frozen them raw & went from freezer to hot pan . Tastes just like fresh.I poached this nice Maitake about 40 feet from the pavement today while driving by. probably about 15lbs. biggest one I've found ever, only one I've seen this year. do you hen getters freeze some of these big ones? too much for two of us to eat in a few days.
