Chicken of the Woods Plug Spawn - (Laetiporus spp.)

Product Information

Description	Most of our Chicken of the Woods strains are isolated from native stock on the East Coast of the U.S., meaning they prefer hardwoods, specifically varieties of Oak. This species is a polypore, with no gills, and is best harvested young by slicing the outermost tender, silky tissue on the tips, which can regenerate more tips if you go back and harvest a week or so later!
Directions	This mushroom must be chopped and boiled in water, then tossing the water, and cooked like you normally would chicken. Olga and I like to soak it in organic chicken broth, then cook it into a curry dish or even cubed and breaded to make chicken nuggets. Chicken of the Woods mushrooms may take 2-3 years to fruit, but well worth the wait! Approximately 100 plugs by weight.
Spawn run time	Year-round
Fruiting temperature range	Varies, Spring to Fall
Suitable for cultivation on	Oaks, except for a few strains for Hemlock and Cherry, see above descriptions
Flavor profile	Like white chicken meat, great texture
