Get this book. It covers the most common edible mushrooms in the midwest. It gave me the confidence to go ID a half dozen or so, including oysters. I found my first chicken last year and it was fantastic.Oysters or a look a like? Is there a look a like? What gives it away?

Thanks. I'll get it.
I've found some chicken (or hens, I don't know the difference) but they were too far gone. Need to look sooner next yr.

Chickens are yellow or orange and almost always grow on dead wood. They are found from summer into fall. Hens are brown/gray in color and are found growing at the base of trees. Most commonly oaks, but I have found them on hickory. September is prime time for them.

I'm finding Hens then (hey are always at the base of living oaks). I'm finding them past their prime because by mid summer I'm sick of ticks and not going into the forest much. I'll make a point of going out earlier next yr.
Thanks!

What is this?
Polyporous squamosus. Edible but not delicious. Grab a bunch and experiment. Some people love it. Fry it, sautee it, dry it. I don't care for it, but hopefully you will. Very abundant Spring mushroom found on dead trees.
