There are so many incredible Mushrooms and I've tried a few of them! th-cam.com/play/PLA76SxktuP32JSD3vvhHyoBXoS-pHRvYU.html

Aw man
Hey! have you every tried cooking eryngii mushrooms? they taste like scallops but are a lil chewy. I'm just learning how to cook so maybe you can cook them to taste like scallops without being as chewy!
You are so much fun to watch!
@SauceStache
What if you dehydrate the mushrooms and rehydrate them in the batter or a chicken flavored broth?
Why aren’t we funding the production of mushrooms? They’re so versatile.
Right
Demand creates supply
Just ignore the snowflakes
Because chicken is better
@@tjj4lab did you watch the end? 3 meat eaters taste tested it and were surprised by how much it tasted like chicken.
Am I the only one that watched this after being recommended a video about a middle aged Englishman with blue crocks, wondering around a forest and scavenging these shrooms off a tree?
Bruh i just watched that video
Me too 😂
Yea, that'd be it.
Watched that video as well
WTH man i just watched his video recently
"Test a bit first". Feeds it to friends without warning.
I was looking for this comment to be here XD
People eat worse things without warning, like tide pods.
loooooool
I thought that too😂😂
Your friends will be thankful
I'm not a vegan or vegetarian... Im just here for the shrooms.
RedMage Gaming your vegan
Shrooom!
Magic
Me too
Mushroom junkie. Count me in!
Your excitement in each video is contagious! Thank you for your creative and interesting experiments. A joyful inspiration.
Thank you so much!!!! I LOVE making these videos its so cool finding this stuff
As a meat lover, I also love this show. These make wonderful snacks, the videos help me learn how to appreciate my fruits and vegetables more between meals. Sometimes I'll take a day off from consuming meat and just have snacks all day every couple weeks. I don't have any vegetarian friends yet but I'll know what to make if they stop by for a visit
Beginning of the video: Warns audience that some people have gnarly bowel issues after ingesting the shroom
End of the video: Feeds big ol chunks of the shroom to his friends
the Sauceman is a chaotic force
there's only really gastrointestinal problems if its grown on pine or cherry
@@MrFuzziiWuzzii thanks for the forager's tip! Really good to know.
@@marle777 Of course! chicken of the woods is amazing. I've made chicken tacos with it and you wouldn't be able to tell that they're mushrooms outside of the slightly more rubbery texture of the more matured mushrooms. Happy foraging :)
Chaotic good
Cameron is right. The issue is really only with the ones that grow on hemlock and cherry. Lucky me, neither bother me.
Whoever you bought those mushrooms from doesn’t know how to care for them. They shouldn’t have even sent them, brown like that. That’s not something that happens overnight. I harvest a hundred lbs a year. PM me and I’ll send you quality PA choice fungus.
Hey Redeye!! Shoot me an email at Mark@saucestache.com I would love to find out what kinda shrooms you have. I wasn't very happy with the supplier of this mushroom at all.. I had to throw away at least half of my order.
I too would like to know
Harold Hicks DM me bud
I would happily buy some mushrooms or logs to grow my own if possible.
Wenefreda DM me
tbh even if it doesnt actually taste like chicken, fried mushrooms are great
I've had this mushroom once before and it's true. It tastes and feels just like chicken, it's really good. I would love for it to be grown commercially.
Former vegetarian here, no way it tastes like chicken. Anyone who thinks that hasn't had chicken in too long.
VulcanMushroom have you had the mushroom before?
@@LordMooshroom ...I eat chicken all the time, I know what chicken tastes like. And this mushroom tastes like chicken. I'm not sure what it would taste like if cooked without any seasoning, but the stuff I had was cooked in a broth. Texture and taste almost indistinguishable from tender chicken.
@@LordMooshroom Nah it's the best chicken substitue out there. The only time it would be very good is if it's picked and cooked recently wet or if it's picked and cooked a bit too old. Otherwise, very much like chicken. If they're a LITTLE too tough they would be better in a soup, they'll soften up.
I saw the spawns (plugs) on Amazon. You can embed them into a tree long (drill holes. Tap them in, seal with melted wax and they grow).
I just made fried chicken of the woods from locally foraged mushrooms (western NY). I was absolutely shocked how delicious it was. I did not think it would be able to mimic the mouth feel and taste of a piece of breaded and fried chicken breast. I seasoned the flour with a onion seasoning from Trader Joe's, paprika, and some Mushroom & Company seasoning (also from Trader Joe's). Double dipped them in egg and flour and fried till golden brown. Even my girlfriend who hates mushrooms was shocked how much this mimicked fried chicken. Would 10/10 recommend trying to make these!!!
Imagine being a strong mushroom specie who survived millions of years of evolution just to be named after a bird that humans think you taste like.
Chicken is the mushroom of the birds
pretty goated
If im the mushroom,I hope i just die.Staying in the same place for many years with nothing to do. If i died i hope anyone who eat me will have a good day.
Would a mushroom care what silly humans decide to call them?
@@kittenmimi5326 Can they even think in the first place?
I lived in Oregon for three years before I was vegan. Now I want to go back to live on all the great mushrooms out there.
I wish I had more of these mushrooms around me!!! I would make them all the time
Sauce Stache I’ll pick you some here in western Oregon saw some last weekend picked chanterelles instead
Not sure where you live now but these mushrooms are very common to find east of the Mississippi from south to north. They like to grow on deciduous trees (oak is one of the best). So while it's common to find them out west too, it's only relegated to diverse woodlands. Much of the west is conifer forests except the PNW which has a bit more biodiversity in trees (though still heavy on the conifer) and you dont want to eat a CotW from a conifer)
SCPhil3 thanks. Indiana right now. I’ve been finding more and more great mushrooms lately.
The hen of the woods is more common and is very similar to the chicken. A couple of years ago I found about 150 pounds of it around one big oak tree.
Make sure not to harvest directly at the base, leave a little on the tree so it will grow back in a month or so 😁
I was at Whole Foods and spotted the lobster mushrooms. I was so surprised, didn’t know they sold them in stores!
Really 👀👀👀
OMG really!!! I had no idea they should the lobster mushroom thats AWESOME!!
It is in season now. They are harvesting them now in north america
Yeah only some sell them. They don’t by me 🤦🏾♀️
What city Lauren Durkin?
This guy deserves way more recognition
Thank you so much!!!
Wayyyyy more.
Broly that made no sense but go off
You seem like a wonderful person to be around. You are always so excited. I really appreciate your energy just as much as your skill and creativity. God bless all that you do
2:24 you could become a rapper with that kind of speed
Haha epic comment boobytrapgaming!!!
Hehee booby
Ammmazzziinnnggg you should do a challenge wherein you try to make meat-like meals using mystery vegetables
LOVE that idea! hahah
He most definitely needs to do this
@@brookelin8191 Yea I dont really trust his judgement. (Sorry Sauce) I do his dads though.
He should have a series where he tries to fool meat eaters every week with a new dish.
I think that would convince more meat eaters to try it.
Sorry I lost your trust... hahah don't know how! haha Can I ask why you don't trust my judgment? I've always been 100% honest and I've even released recipes where I've failed hardcore!
@@SauceStache
Dont take it personally as you never really had it to begin with. Like most meat eaters I am suspicious of vegans or vegitarians claiming foods taste like something when in many cases it's been decades since they last tasted it. I was like this before I saw your videos. In fact the first one I ever saw was the one with you and your dad as it was because I was looking for a meat eaters opinion.
I stayed for the innovation.
Glad you were able to find it!!! It’s such a cool mushroom! Looks amazing, as always
Leanna The Soapy Chef I ordered it the second I found it!! I was on the hunt for a while
More KFC recipes🙌 Those look amazing!! I need a whole bucket😂😍
Emma's Goodies hahaha I knew you would love it!!!
Your friends happy dance at 6:47 confirms that it was good 🤗
I was camping in New York State's Adirondack mountains just outside. Old forge NY and had woodsman suvival guide with this mushroom in it found some on the base of a couple of trees had some slated peanuts black pepper. Rehydrated oinon flaks with soy packet and some houney warped in tinfoil atop some hot colas 😳👏👏👏🔥😁
You’re amazing. Thank you for your wonderful content! 🌱
You're amazing!!! Thank you so much for that comment!!! Means so much
I love that your channel is growing, you've become my favourite food youtuber now just because of your happy personality (and cool alternative foods I don't see anywhere else) Keep it up :)
You literally have the best cooking channel out there. Glad it's doing well dude! This looks seriously yummy!
Awww thank you so much!!
@@SauceStache No problemo :)
These mushrooms are beyond fantastic . They legit give such a good flavor to ratatouille . They sell these pegs that are inoculated with the spores and you still out a oak stump and pop these pegs in and with some shade and a little watering everyday in a few weeks you too can enjoy this mushroom. I’ll look up the name of the company and add it to this post if anyone is interested.
I’m actually surprised that a Mushroom would taste like chicken! I have used Portobello Mushroom as a hamburger replacement though
I tested a little chunk before I started and it was SHOCKING!! I was blown away
I found a tree with chicken of the woods. I lived on them for a week. Fired and in soups lol. I love them so much.
Another great video! Have you ever considered ranking or rating different recipes for each series, on the website or somewhere? You know, like taste, texture, expense, and difficulty to find ingredients compared on a rating scale.
Thank you!! Thats a great idea... I've had an idea to do something similar for a while, but I need to get the time to put it together!
I managed to find some 'chicken of the woods' a few weeks ago, growing on a blossom tree. It was amazing. I just tossed it on some buckwheat flour seasoned with a mixture of powdered bay leaf, rosemary, 5 spice, powdered garlic and salt. Then when cooked we dipped it into some Teriyaki sauce. Even our eight year old loved it and wanted to have some more. Unfortunately, that was the only time we found it. I wish they sold it in the stores! Amazing stuff!
yay new video
Wow thank you so much!!
I agree! I expect this channel to gain a ton more subs -it deserves it!
Scarred Marquet for such a "small" channel this is some really high quality content, the first video i watched i thought this channel had for sure over 1mill subs
💯
Tobi. Me, too!
Definitely trying to forage some chicken of the woods for the first time this year. My stepson found some last year and had no idea what it was and it was a giant cluster. Great video!
MerleHunter Nature is amazing. They have so many similar tastes! One time I found a plant/weed in my backyard that smelled like chocolate.
Thank you for this another vegan recipe. It seems that mushrooms can be whatever they want to be...
I'll say nature is really wild!
Mushrooms are alien that can disguise themselves as anything
Why vegans want to eat smth that taste like meat? Makes no sense to me.
@@sheevpalpatine6373 I became vegan for ethics. As long I can survive and thrive in a way that harms as little as possible and practicable the animals, for me it's okay. I didn't become vegan because I didn't like the taste of meat, dairy, eggs, honey. I always loved the taste of that and I still do. Taste is not something that can be changed by force. So, if I can eat vegan food that tastes like non-vegan food, I go for it. It's a personal preference. It's not bad and it's not good! Yep...
@@iis.1989 So you are not disgusted by meat, ok.
Man you would’ve really loved it with fresh chicken of the woods. That looked pretty rough. I found one here in New York last year that was 120lbs on one tree! I went back last week and got another 50 from it this year. Our favorite is cow (chicken of the woods) nuggets. We are going to have to try this recipe now and see if it’s our new favorite. We have foraged and eaten over 60 different wild mushrooms here. It’s taken years of research and self educating to get to this point but it’s so worth it. For anyone reading this, never pick and consume a wild mushroom you are not 100% positive of its identity! I’m new to your channel but definitely plan on staying. Keep up the good work!
We also make a killer “chicken” chorizo with it.
Most underrated channel on youtube
Wow thank you so much!
@@SauceStache no problem, i found this channel because you tried to make the impossible burger at home, and at the time not a single other person on youtube that i could find tried to make it at home!
@@jamedlamed3982 Lol I think that's how I found him too haha!! I thought that was so cool that he did that! He also has other things that I've never seen, like these mushrooms that taste like chicken and lobster!...I have to find these and try them!
This guy is awesome!
This is one of my favourite channel's!! Quality content everytime! Love from the UK 💙
This kind of mushroom should be boiled in the water first, around 10 min in order to release oxalic acid and to soften, after is ready for further cooking.
Thank you for this comment, I got some of this mushroom for tonight and I’ll be sure to soak first
@@justinhamilton8647 Great! Now is the season, in Europe we find them near the river on trees and it is delicious and soft at early spring, later gets dry. Also grows again in october. Be sure to cook 10 min in boiling water first. Enjoy the best vegan chicken, cheers!
Wont the mushroom be mushy after boiling it for 10 mins?
I came across chicken of the woods mushrooms while foraging and decided to try this KFC copycat recipe. It was fantastic. Better than the real thing, and no animals were exploited or harmed in the process. It's a win-win. The only thing I would change is the amount of pepper in the recipe. Too much for my preference. So I'm going to cut back on the pepper the next time I make these.
Thanks for this recipe, Sauce Stache!
This guy should make a “mushroom steak house”
This mushroom Wellington is bloody raw. Tastes frozen. Such a pity...
Thanks for these mushroom vids. About to start growing mushrooms and these are perfect vids to help me figure out which to grow and what to do with them.
Your production is sick idk how you don’t have like a million followers
Thats awesome thank you!!!!! I try and I'm always trying to improve! Hopefully one day the TH-cam Algorithm will find me
I love binge watching your videos. I also hadn't known that Steve from Not Another Cooking Show was part of the saucesquad. Love both of you guys.
This looks so delicious! Who knew there was a mushroom that tastes like chicken.
Crazy right!! Nature is sooo wild
There aint
@@alejandroreyes9975 Have you had it? It really does.
Yep, this stuff grows in our woods in the fall, it certainly tastes great.
Great job! Mushroom lover here 🙌
Thank you so much!!!
There's a massive cluster of these growing outside my uni so I'm pretty excited to try them
I live in Oregon and want to look for this now. Hopefully I'd go with someone who knew what they were doing, otherwise I'd probably die
I love your smile and vibrancy. You make every episode I've seen make me want to eat the screen! 😋 recipes and fun!💞
Delicious 😋 can’t wait for the next video
Thank you thank you!!
I have 16 pounds of these in the freezer from my last hauls this past hunting season, maybe I’ll try this recipe
They taste like chicken or they taste like "Fried chicken"? Because there's a lot of difference if you haven't fried them then it wouldn't taste like chicken it might have a meaty taste but it doesn't mean it taste like chicken
Try making a DIY Blue Honey BBQ recipe to go with your mushroom chicken. Mushroom honey BBQ to go with mushroom chicken bites. YUMMY!!!!!😊 Also Look up Blue Honey you will fall in Love. Make it with Manuka SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!
"With this New Mushroom, you can hear colors!!!! (Psilocybin Cubensis)"
Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) and Lobster of the Woods (Hypomyces lactifluorum) are extremely hard to cultivate, unlike oysters or shiitakes. They are almost always wild foraged. With that said, they are not hard to find in the wild, depending on your location. Great video. I personally pan sear my CoW's before I bread and fry them just to be sure they are fully cooked and also impart pan flavor. And yes they taste almost exactly like what they are named for.
Your have some amazing acts of improvisation.
Now can you make mushroom from chicken?
Finally! Someone who loves mushrooms as much as me and do more with them than just add them cheese XS. I am following your channel to infinity and beyond
fun game: drink a shot of tequila each time he says "chicken of the woods"
I don't want to die of liver failure 😂
I’m floored
Can't wait to try this. Just picked a fraction of log's worth. 2#'s of free gourmet (?) shrooms. Doubled and tripled checked against Jack o Lantern shrooms which look a bit similar but are toxic.
"this mushroom is mindblowing"... Interresting...
Thank you for the Chicken of the Woods link there out of stock right now but I want to get some some day and try to make this recipe you made for this video it looks yummy
*sauce stache video shows up in my feed*
me: "what is he making bacon from this time?"
From Chicken of course.
I just subscribed to you today when I saw your seitan chicken video and then you post another video about chicken. What a coincidence
hahaha thats awesome!! Welcome
Please add the pea protein chicken recipe.
I still haven't nailed down that recipe. Its just so hard to nail it and I would hate for a bunch of people to try it and fail. I'm going to get it perfected soon I promise
Recently got some mushrooms from my local market. Just made your lobster roll recipe and it was awesome! Can't wait to try this chicken of the woods!
That looks so good!
Thank you!!! IT was sooooo good!
I found a 5 lb Mushroom and tried several different options. I used it as a stir-fry too, excellent
Awesome just in time to
distract me from doing my homework. Hopefully none of my professors see this. Lol
hahahahah Awesome... but then get your homework done after hahah
@@SauceStache lol. I will but man it's taking so long to get this masters 🤦🏾♀️
I am happy you actually let some others try it for once. I am really thinking about trying this
Drink everytime he says “chicken of the woods”, dies 2 minutes in from alcohol poisoning
Hahahahaha. Straight Death
After a full year of having this video in my playlist I finally tried it with a big Portobello mushroom. My stomach feels packed tight.
I've never met a chicken who tried to taste like a mushroom
Lol
CotW is amazing all around. Its beautiful, insanely tasty, and really healthy (when not completely slathered in oil lolz.) Also a great/easy genus for amateur foragers just starting out. Just be careful with clusters growing on conifers esp hemlocks! Always try a small amount to make sure it agrees w/ you first.
As for the recipe: def double batter! The first pieces of single batter I made shed most of it off. The double batter held up much better. They also bake really well but be sure to use a spray oil on the baking sheet & both sides as you cook as it will be much drier than full on frying.
Hey, I've been wondering; are you actually vegan? Love your videos by the way, keep up the good work!:)
Hey thank you so much!!! No I’m not vegan! I was for years and then went vegetarian for over 10 years. I have a few personal health issues now that limits me. Now I just try to eat mostly a plant based diet.
The Chicken of the woods mushroom are so good!! I collected a good batch in the PNW. They grow on rotten logs.
Hey, Sauce Stache. Michael here.
I've been vegan for 3 years. This is amazing! Another great video, glad I've subscribed I am learning so much. Thank you and you're awesome💯 Where I am from there aren't mushrooms like this for sale. 😭 I want to grow my own.
Let’s play a game!
Every time he says “Chicken of the woods”
****Take a shot! ***
This includes the words chicken, of and the woods. Good luck!
No. Because of this everytime I heard him say chicken I couldn't help but wanna shout out "of the woods" now the word chicken will give me PTSD for atleast a few weeks
Not a good idea
have you tried using oat milk instead of soy? I really like oat milk a lot, it's certainly more neutral tasting than soy.
vegetarians: finally, sustainable food
Are you suggesting that not being vegatarians = unsustainable? Oh dear, we need to eliminate the tigers, lions, leopards and what not ASAP!
its me obama gaming

OzeeJ hi Obama gaming
You can buy a lot of these mushrooms dried. The rehydrated product usually turns out pretty good.
R N I was seriously considering buying it dried but wasn’t sure how it would be! That’s awsome though!! Thank you for the info!
@@SauceStache pro tip use boiled water or seasoned broth for best and quickest results.
im not a big fan of mushrooms so i’m trying to find better ways to cook them because i hate the texture!!
Slice finely Dehydrate in a toaster or oven at 100 ton160 degrees then crumble into small pieces at to soupe if you dont like the texture of mushrooms
Now this is a hard one for me. While ever you make the best videos on TH-cam I cannot give up my KFC fix. Great work as always pal.
Any hint to the next video??
Honestly its up in the air right now!! I'm searching for a few different veggies and a specific fruit. If I can find any of those then I have a video... if not I'm going to be in a hurry to figure something out hahah
mushroom seems like it may be the true future of plant replacement for meats. you have a lobster mushroom replacement, crab, now chicken, probably others. looking forward to trying these

Fried
That looks really good. My parents tried "chicken of the woods" once, and they said it tasted like chicken. Would be great if grocery stores started selling them.
Vegetarian chicken has been invented i suppose.
but it isn't chicken. Why call it that?
@@vybeschoo that is why I referred to it as vegetarian chicken.
@@nureddinyalcin8483 but really it's vegetarian mushroom.

@@kevintran3042 I'm just trolling some vegans. I'm not even slightly offended.
We've been deep frying mushrooms for a long time and like you said, they taste like chicken, some even taste like chicken skin when you deep fry with batter.

@@deathtoblankmist I bet you're 14 years old.
Hmm according to our local recepies you should pick young ones, scrub them, boil them, then do anything with them, haven't heard about preparing them without boiling (and disposing water)
Another way to taste fried chicken is to get high on acid and eat a rat
I'll try your recipe today. Thank you!
I recently moved. I actually found this mushroom growing outside my fence. What a stroke of luck! It looks different than yours but I’m 99% sure it is the right one. I’m so tempted to try it.
Don't eat random mushrooms. They can be toxic and kill you.
great recommendation. i prefer mushrooms as a meat over processed meat subs.
Learned the alternative way to clean mushrooms...put in brown paper bag like from grocery store...a good amount of salt and some water and the mushrooms....close the bag top by clenching in the fist and than shake shake shake it....than open remove cleaned mushrooms and discard bag....
Hey, try frying oyster mushrooms, they're really tasty. Just bread them with bread crumbs as you do with chicken, its a thing in my country. Please do try it! 😘
