Thats what we're havin tonight crappie and shrooms went out this morning for an hour and found 15,eat some freeze some for later
Yeppers. My name on here says it all. We have a big ole hen of the woods in the fridge right now. Although they have been a little harder to find this year around here. DRY, real dry.
This has been the absolute best year for puffballs up here. I couldn't believe how many I found. I gave many away and even left some in the woods, so they wouldn't go to waste.
I just never did develop a taste for them. I tried them a couple different times. Do you have a super special, secret, or not so secret, recipe for them?Quote:

I ended up giving over half away but still have plenty. I sliced them thin, floured them up and eat them up. Made a good meal.
If she doesn't brown them first, I think they are too spongy. She browns them before we freeze them as well.Quote:

AWESOME!!!!
Your making me hungry....
I think I would rather have the mushrooms instead of the crappie. I dont pick em mainly cause I dont know which are good, but I love eatin em.
how about this old hen, I plan on doing her up right tomorrow sautee some with my eggs then fry some crappie and shroom for dinner
Hey bowbender, how long will they stay good in the frig? I got some today and was wanting to save some for 2 weeks. might have to freeze some.
some good eats you have there
I found a package of fresh Jowl in the freezer, fried it up crispy, melted a little lard in another cast iron skillet flowered up some of the hen of the woods in flour, bread crumbs and a little Andy's cajun, fried till crispy brown cooked a couple cackle berries in the jowl grease and chowed down, life is good.Sorry I don't have any pictures but the kids cleaned it up pretty fast.
I don't know if they will stay fresh for two weeks in the fridge,I pull them apart soak them in water in the fridge,might get by with a week.But as long as it stays warm there will still be some in the woods for awhile.Let me know how freezeing them works I never tried it.
I just saute'd some this morning for an omlet that I had in a baggie for over a week and they were just fine
I've put some up in the freezer just freeze in water like you do fish or you can vacume seal them,that works really well
thanks Camo I will have to try that sometime most of mine get eaten up before they get old
You guys got me ready to go start stomping around the woods. I've mostly ever only done morels in the spring but those pictures of the fried hen of the woods make me want to lace up the hiking boots and go.
Out of curiosity are there any similiar looking mushrooms to the hen of the woods that should be avoided at all costs???
nothing else looks like them,the one in the picture is what I would say is a tight compact one but they can be more spread out and have bigger padals on them and they can range in color from almost black to different shades of grey to even light tan,they have a white underbelly.cut them off at the ground with a fillet knife so you can leave the the root system in the ground.they almost ALWAYS grow under white oaks.you can also google them and see alot of pictures
