🍗Here’s a mushroom known for its meaty flavor, the chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus)!

🍄In addition to chicken, its flavor has been likened to crab and lobster meat, if prepared correctly. The parasitic fungus has a wide range throughout parts of North America and Europe, where it grows in clumps at the base of hardwood trees, causing the trees to decay over time. Because of its edibility, it’s popular among foragers. The mushroom can reach large sizes: a 100-pound- (45-kilogram-) specimen was found in the United Kingdom in 1990!
