Attached info about chicken of the woods https://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/chicken-of-the-woods.html
Use the tender younger part of the mushroom as it gets woody
You can bread and fry it like chicken

This time of year be on the lookout for Hen of the woods http://foragerchef.com/hen-of-the-woods-mushrooms/
They are at the base of oak trees and are excellent to eat
Hens get very large

I may have to start eating the weeds in my garden instead of composting them

Interesting, although the picture of the lambsquarters didn't look like the plants I have that I thought were lambsquarters... the shape of the leaves is right, but our plants have a powdery white coating on the young leaves, and on the underside of the mature leaves, and the stems aren't red like the picture. Maybe I should take mine in for a more definite identification....
They also didn't mention burdock and purslane and pigroot which is a wild form of amaranth.

Britesea I would love to know more about eatable weeds. My Amish neighbors pick purslane and say its good for weight loss with many health benefits I'm sure there are many common weeds that can eaten and probably delicious
