I'm driving along down the road when suddenly a bright orange patch on on big Oak tree catches my attention. I quickly pulled over and got out of my truck. I found my first Chicken Of The Woods this year. :D
As I approached to take some pictures I was quick to notice all the poison ivy growing around it...!!

Chicken of the woods is one of my favorite edible mushrooms. Morels are my favorite . @qwerrie
morels?! really? well, as I never tried I cant discuss that standing on a firm ground. I have catched them once, but never posted yet. I will do, when I create agood text, and we may discuss it later. ok? I'm highly intrested you to develop this idea. @annephilbrick laters!
@annephilbrick is this an edible mushroom? Be careful of the ivy, it does not bother me but some people break out by just looking at it.
Indeed it is edible....😊..!!
...but only once? hehe ))))

I haven't had that one since I was a kid! I have memories of how good it is. The poison ivy is out in full force at my house, too. I am not very allergic to it, thank goodness!
Hello...!! :D
My Grandmother would foraged for them. That's how I learned. They really are great.
I am unfortunately allergic to posion ivy. I'm pretty good about spotting it before I get into trouble.
I do eny those who are not allergic to it...🤗. @melinda010100
I have never had the rash, but others in my family get it and I know what a miserable thing it is to suffer through.
I'm soooooooo glad you are not allergic to it.
I've always wondered why some people are and some are not...
