BilletHead Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Checked on the hens I had found yesterday. They had grown some overnight. The comb tooth had not and I also found a beard tooth very fresh. I ended up picking three hens and the comb tooth and beard tooth. Tomorrow we will do hen soup and jar up some pickled hens and peppers maybe grill some hens too. Still have hens to pick. Today we made some Hericium salad out of the beard and comb tooth. This is the first time we have tried that. Turned out like a crab meat salad. Very good and it will be a keeper.

Justin Spencer Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I got sick eating hens a couple weeks ago and thinking it was some old cheesecake that was the problem I ate them again the night of the Royals wild card game. Spent the Royals half of the 10th ralphing, now as a true superstitious fan I eat them before each game and usually puke during extra innings. I used to eat them with no ill effects, but I guess they do make about 5% of people sick.

BilletHead Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Bummer Justin. We have been eating them for years. Where did you read that 5% of people get sick on them? I have many books and never have read that. How do you fix them? You will have folks scared of trying them. They are one of the most prized finds and easy to ID.

Not sure what the problem was, like I said I had eaten them for years with no problem. We made fajitas with them, worst night ever, and second time was a soup, not quite as bad. Amy just said another site said 1-3% get sick, so pretty slim chance, they used to be my favorites, but think I will lay off for a while. Both times I had a glass of Almond milk not too long before I started feeling sick, so I wonder if that caused some sort of reaction.

Justin Spencer Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Billet, Amy just told me we had Chicken of the woods, which are orange, so I was wrong about the type.

BilletHead Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 OK Justin that sounds a bit more like it. I have read where chicken of the woods (sulfur shelf) could do that. It would even cause swelling of the lips! Thanks to Amy for the info.
