For anyone like me who didn’t know… Chicken of the woods

Found on a hike through Central Valley California.

It's past its prime, but if you return to the same spot earlier in the year - June/July in my neck of the woods - that's prime eating.

I did read about them and I do intend to come back.

Found this one also.

If that's what you're using time travel for, you need to reassess your priorities.

Mmm, crunchy!

Oh man, this is like the mountain chicken in that it's not a chicken at all.

Very cool and I didn’t know of the frog.

I’m seeing great potential for a post on things that are called ‘chicken’ that aren’t chickens.
