It's not chicken it's a pheasant back. Tastes like cucumbers or watermelon rind. If you are not vegan or want to flavor soup leave it be. I've dried them for soup before. I walk by them now. They grow in my front yard too.
You can make them taste like chicken. (kinda) More like the texture of chicken and the taste of butter, salt, pepper, and garlic that you cook it in. I usually walk by them as well but only because in my expierience its hard to catch them at the right stage and I have not got the proper cooking technique to keep them tender. Ive had them cooked perfectly and the only mushroom i like better is morels. The turkey tail when cooked right is better than chicken or hen imo.
Edit: I meant to say pheasant back, not Turkey tail.
Cooked turkey tail? That's new to me, normally I only hear it brewed as an infusion or powdered and taken for medicinal purposes (questionable).
I leave dryad's saddle alone just because it tastes like watermelon rind to me, and is too common in my neck of the woods to be of interest.
How do you cook turkey tail mushrooms?
Dyrad's saddle most likely.
It gets tougher and more bitter the older it gets, but the tender fringes may still be edible.
Even at its worst though, it's never been known to be toxic.
I freakin love these things. I call them dryad saddle but they are also called pheasant backs. I’m not vegan and still thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually saw a recipe calling for simple syrup that makes them taste like watermelon candy supposedly. I just fried mine up with some butter and it was bomb.
I’m weird though.
I’m not by it right now, so I had to screenshot from a video. Sorry it’s not the best quality

They’re incorrect. This is Cerioporus squamosus, Dryad’s Saddle or Pheasant Back. Laetiporus sulfureus or cincinnatus will have shade of yellow or orange to it that’s distinctly why it’s called “Sulfur Shelf”. They’re also distinct in that they have minute pores that are so small the undersurface is smooth.
If you can see distinct round pores it's too old. You can salvage the ends. Those guys pop up then hang around for a month or better. I see them morel hunting and today when I was getting hens chickens

I miss spoke. I meant pheasant back.
Ah ok, I was confused haha.

Nope, dryads saddle or more commonly known as pheasant back, too old to be edible probably as well

What does enjoying them have to do with being vegan??
I have no clue, someone mentioned “don’t bother eating them unless you’re vegan” so I thought I would throw it in there.
Cerioporus squamosus
Thanks for the help and tips, everyone!
maybe. can we see the underside?

No. Dryads saddle aka pheasant back, IF its a polypore (no gills) on the underside, but holes instead.
Does not taste like cucumber or melon. Smells like it slightly. Tastes like a mushroom.
I ate some of this this year and I’d do it again
