Fried Chicken Mushroom

Meet the mushroom that earns its name honestly.

The Fried Chicken Mushroom (Lyophyllum decastes) offers a satisfying, meaty bite and a rich, savory aroma that feels both wild and familiar. With its firm texture and mild, poultry-like flavor, it’s a forager’s favorite for turning simple dishes into rustic comfort food.
 
Sustainably harvested from mixed hardwood forests, these clustered mushrooms brown beautifully in butter or olive oil — crisping on the edges while staying juicy inside. Their natural umami depth makes them an exceptional stand-in for meat in vegetarian dishes or a luxurious companion to roasted poultry, pasta, or grains.
 
Perfect for:
Pan-frying or sautéing until golden and crisp
Adding hearty texture to risottos, soups, or wild rice blends
Pairing with cream sauces, herbs, or a splash of white wine
 
Harvest Season: Late summer – fall
Origin: Wild-harvested in North America
Storage: Keep refrigerated and unwashed; enjoy within 5–7 days for best flavor
 
Rustic, satisfying, and beautifully versatile — the Fried Chicken Mushroom brings the heart of the forest straight to your table. 🌿
