How would you prepare this 24 pounder?

"YUM" I would prepare to devour it!! :grin:

We have a mushroom here in Oregon we call chicken of the woods, and it becomes bright orange when just right to pick.

I put up over 150 lbs (wet weight) last year. Some went into my last batch of homemade spaggetti sauce. Some got sauted with onions, garlic and pepper in bacon fat with fresh venison.

Most of it was thin sliced and put in a food dehydrator. When dry enough can be stored for 1-2 years in lidded canning jars. When you need to cook it add a little water to a frying pan and boil a few minutes to rehydrate, then add in your other raw veggies (e.g. onion garlic ect.) and cook up as you would fresh

Wow - nice find! I'd do it up in a stew - would go well in gravy w/onions for steak as well I expect. Don't freeze any of it tho - tastes like cardboard after.

spitfire,
Slice and dice and sautee in 'BUTTER',salt&
pepper. Add to any of your favorite dishes
that would include mushrooms.
One of my all time favorite mushrooms is the
portebella. Such great flavor...very woodsy.
Add to any dish with meat.Add garlic,onion and
an absolute must is fresh tyme.Fresh a lot,ground
not much.

puffballs are good eating, I fry them dipped in beer batter. they grow here in WNC and upstate S. Calinky to good size before going to powder. real good with B-B-Q chicken and risotto.
