Chicken of the Wood

"Chicken of the Wood" is the common name of Laetiporus, one of the edible mushroom. See the wiki references. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus
My friend found the full bodies of the mushroom at a nearby lake. They waited until bright orange before foraging. We cooked in garlic and olive oil with a handful of sliced onion. The texture is amazingly unique, unlike any other mushrooms' textures. It really almost has a meat texture. yummy!
