Love this guy...he is always well studied & knows the material. And his passion for this is not only extremely evident, but contagious.
Yep he's #1
Awesome information!!
Love this: "Chicken of the woods . . . has the ability and the power to brighten your day literally, metaphorically, and metaphysically speaking . . ."
You are one amazing young teacher. I realize this particular vid is several years old now but I am thinking that you should do plant and mushroom identification walks. I as an old person of the woods have learned a lot from your teachings. Keep up the great works and things you are doing. Above all keep teaching...
a anti-fungal mushroom... nature has done something insane.
I know, right?
Mother Nature is amazing! Won't be long before we'll be using these mushroom extract to fight infections...
penicillin comes from bread mold which is a fungus. Pretty cool how is was discovered, too.
None competing species. They likely evolved together, to respect their distance and invade on each other
Mason T literally the anti-mushroom
Your public speaking on such complex subject is incredibly impressive! Big words and beautiful flow as you explain everything needed.
Thank you for the info, wow.
Found the other day~after torrential rains~wasn't there 2 days before & yet when i found them>>they were on their way out already.....
Had seen so many pix was sure what it was-even though *brighter ORANGE - ALMOST RED*.
Was SO excited, i cleaned really well-had to throw out much, though saved the "tougher part for the winter".
~BUT IT was so large, two actually. Maybe it was ITS *AGE* but it DID TASTE LIKE CHICKEN; although it tasted like *very DRY chicken breasts*. AS i waste nothing edible or medicinal-i cooked in homegrown tomatoes & ate some>the rest will go in the freezer for soups cooked on wood-stove, which is like a CROCK POT.
*_THANKS as always Adam_* as i really was *unaware of MEDICINAL PROPERTIES* plus *you always TEACH me at least one thing i don't/didn't KNOW-usually more in I.D factors*
*PeAcE & GRATITUDE as always --"another appreciative loyal follower"*

So many video makers don’t care about proper pronunciation. It’s irritating and distracting. What a relief and a joy to hear you competently skip through the Latin and multi syllabic verbiage. Thanks and cheers! 👍☘️😎🌞
Adam, I really love your videos. It really inspires people to learn and enjoy nature, especially the fungi species. It was so interesting I just found "Chicken of the Woods" mushrooms in the front of my house in Front Royal, Virginia. It was under the Oak trees, and I saw a space between the tree to that mushrooms. After searching, and watching your videos, I think I got Laetiporus Cincinnatus. They have very bright orange color on the top, and the margins are very slight yellow, and the other side has whitish color, and no gills at all. So happy to find them, and I cooked awesome dinner with those "Chicken of the Woods". I really hope it will grow again soon. I really enjoyed to harvest them and even made my own video to talk a little bit about this mushroom after searching and watching many videos, and reading the books. Wow! I really love the bright color of this mushrooms. After harvesting this mushrooms, cooking and having awesome dinner, I am totally in love with wild mushrooms hunting now. Thanks so much for all your very informative videos:).
Great video. Your enthusiasm makes watching the video more enjoyable. Also, the recipes add a nice touch.
+Yong Kim Thanks for the kind words!
Yes, your videos are great! More recipes wouldn't hurt either :D
Just got a batch, can't wait to try them! Great video!
Sir, you impressed me with your presentation. Well done. I just found about 25lbs of Chicken of the Woods on a recent hike in the woods. I wanted to confirm that I have the right mushroom before I eat it and it looks like I'm good to go!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
If it is growing on a Yew tree this is not edible.
Was it okay to eat?
@@locasaly563 I think his lack of response gives you your answer ;)
For newbies, you are never good to go. If you can't positively identify it do not eat it.
I can positively identify green backs and chicken of the woods. Even so I ate not more than a teaspoon the first day, easy enough with a green back,but so fusterating with the chickens. Three big skillets full and only one tiny bite before I froze them. Not everyone can eat wheat and not everyone can handle mushrooms that don't bother anyone else.
I had this in my yard for the first time this year in Lower Michigan.
Chicken of the woods are some of my favorite mushrooms to eat! Right now, I am really enjoying them with bbq sauce or as chicken parm.
I remember seeing this hunting deer but had no idea what it was. I wish I had learned this when I was a kid because as I learn more I realize I missed a lot. Thanks
Seeing it around when you're in a good place to find deer is probably no coincidence. Might also be a good place to look for rose hips! Deer love those too.
Adam, I found my first chicken of t he woods mushroom today, and you are so right: you can't miss it. It is like a neon sign in the woods. Ate a small amount with dinner and it was one of the most delicious mushrooms I've ever ate.
Awesome, congrats!
Just found and harvested pounds off a fallen tree hiking on my cousins birthday! This video motivated all the youngsters to hunt for them and properly harvest! Saving the world by teaching this!
With all the rain in Maryland and PA this past week, they are popping up like crazy. I could fill a pickup with the ones growing behind my work in Baltimore. If you're in PA, MD or DE, now is the time to look.
This year has been insane. I wan't really into Mushroom Foraging until I did some hiking this year. The quantity and variety has been beyond insane. I could spend all day gathering individual mushrooms for a week and not even get two of the same kind. It's been out of control this year. But in a good way. If you're a fungus.
@@account-not-found-try-again I was just starting to think about going back out on a search. I haven't so far. Spent the summer at the beach and haven't made the transition yet. But I will be going out soon.
I'm a total noob, so I don't have any books to recommend or suggest. My interest was piqued by a co-worker and a couple of Podcasts.
Wish you were out here on the west coast! I realize how different the ecology is in your neck of the woods compared to here in California. Still, absolutely love your work Adam, thanks so much!
I found these today in our own woods finally. The first time I ever found these was like the motherlode on a massive stump. I love these mushrooms.
Dude you are so smart I’m envious 😂✊🏼 good shit man
Fascinating! I didnt know this species had a medicinal value, will definitely add this one to my Reishi and Chaga regimens. Thanks again Adam cant wait for your next post when the weather warms up again. Just subscribed, which i never do for any channels

We found chicken of the woods for the first time last year on a tree beside our garden. We were glad to find that it grew back last week.
It is our favorite mushroom. We were savoring it like it was king crab.
We Sautee in olive oil with salt. Excellent. I want about 5 lbs of COW.
Really impressive how you flow through all these details and names! You have did a great job making it!
Some years ago, my friend found some supposed chicken in the woods, and yes, as you said... in for a few rough days... Thanks again!
Excellent information
Super informative and great presentation. You got me pumped to learn about and eat some mushrooms.
such a thorough, informative, pleasant video. Thanks man! I found a TON of this mushroom today and am so excited to learn about it and cook it!
Great video!
Thank you!
Very engaging manner... clear, concise and I LUHV all the various & sundry benefits listed. Good work!
Great video! I found some nice COTW on the side of the road today in the woods! My first time picking it!
Awesome videos, you have helped me out a great deal in what mushrooms I choose to harvest. I have used your videos as one more tool to kelp me identify what I have exactly,sometimes what I find doesn't always look the same although I'm usually pretty sure what I have! Thank you and please keep them coming!
Just found some and your vid was the first to pop up. Gonna boil some up now. Thanks.
Excellent video Thanks for the great information. I now must learn more about this mushroom.
Thank you for your helping me understand mushrooms I'm a beginner
remarkably well versed young man! excellent all en-compasing review. Just found 3-4lbs in the HH's off Nichols Cyn. thank you
Thank you for all your enthusiastic wisdom about fungi, I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
This video was amazing, thank you!
Super informative! I am a long-time forager and just starting to add mushrooms to my list. I'll be checking out your videos - thanks for sharing what you know - your educational efforts are much appreciated!
Wow, just exactly what I needed.
Especially glad to know that these mushrooms are likely to come back year after year in the same place.
You are so articulate I thought you must be reading from a script until I watched a couple of your other videos and saw that wasn't the case. Thanks for the info and for your passion. You are like the perfect instructor. (Plus, such a beautiful logo and website. Obviously, a class A operation.)
Thank you so much for helping me identify the huge basketball sized mushroom cluster I just found on the trail, it looked like a beautiful cream and peach coral reef! :)
Never heard of these until 2 weeks ago, and this week I found some in Downeast Maine! Wish I could send you a photo... it was growing between two tree stumps. I've been watching videos about how to clean and eat them, so happy to have found your channel!
great video! very informative
Bro your freaking great thanks for these amazing videos! !!

“Fella” you have to be from AU?

I haven't heard of "chicken of the woods" interesting. . .I'll have to go exploring for some.
THANK YOU for your educational videos, much appreciated!
thank you for your energy and education.
Amazing initiative!
Thank you for teaching me something today. It's refreshing to hear someone explain in a simple way the "how" and "why", in this case, the how's and why's of medicinal properties of this mushroom.
Keep up the good work! 💪
Excellent video! Very educational, entertaining and inspirational to get outside. I was on here looking at videos of giant puffballs since I found some on my property and ran across your channel. Keep up the great work!
I found a lot of them here in Vancouver, BC pacific North West on cherry trees, also it's good to mention that they have lots of proteins.
Been finding a ton lately in a hardwood forest in upstate NY ,love it, super delicious.... appreciate the extra medicinal knowledge of this species
Great video Adam , this is my new favorite edible. I didn't know how medicinal it was... and taste great too.
Great video! My first edible mushroom is Chicken Of The Woods.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. These are my favorite mushrooms to find while camping. Always impresses my friends when I bring some back to camp and cook it up.
I get nice fruitings in my back yard growing off the old ground down stumps
I enjoyed the video keep up the good work and the videos
Very useful vid :) new subscriber from France
Love all mushrooms and walks in the woods :)
Great video! I found some Chicken of the wood today for the first time. Too bad it was dried out! Can't wait to find some and cook it up!
Thank you for educating us about mushrooms. I'm so interested in edable mushrooms but never confident to identify and eat them....... I live Jax FL
I found my first Chicken of the Woods today and will be cooking it tomorrow. Thank you for helping me in my journey!
A really good video, thanks. Just found it growing on a park road stump in Estonia. Chicken of the park.
Hi Adam just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your videos on fungi! I was cutting the lawn last week and saw a COW growing out of the top of an old oak log but didn't know what it was other then some kind of mushroom. I took a picture of it thinking I would get on TH-cam and see what I could find and there you are!! Now that its a week later and I found you just today, the COW is in fade mode (as in getting pale) I wont pick it this year but I sure will mark my calendar to watch for it next year!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful info.
Loved the video. Just found a bunch of chickens and hens this week in Indiana. I generally throw out the "woody" parts of the mushrooms.
Thrilled to find this :-) as I found this mushroom today, took some after doing a google reverse image search to confirm it was chicken of the woods but looking at your video once home confirmed it for me - thank you
Loved this Adam...chi Miigwech (thank you in anishinabe)
I have used this mushroom in the past and it tastes great.
