We should not forget that the wildlife garden feeds US, too!

A friend just presented me with an absolutely wonderful hen-of-the-woods mushroom, and I haven't a clue how to fix it other than the usual way I do my morels, which btw is the only wild mushroom I trust myself to properly ID. I was sure there were some of you here who could share some of your favorite recipes with me!

It's at least a 15 pounder, had to smoosh it ever so slightly just to get it into the cripser drawer in the fridge! This friend had found several on the same day and sold a few to a local gourmet restaurant and then gave this one, probably the choicest, to me as a gift.

I am not about to let it go to waste! To "waist" is another issue! :)

got any suggestions??
