this is the first time i have found this mushroom, its called Hen of the wood (not Chicken thats different) this one is highly prized by the Japanese who call it a name which means to dance around wildly!! Well the taste was good and these two mushrooms yielded 2 1/2 kgs of flesh, but an awful lot of cleaning required.....
