Many years ago, we were inundated with several large maitake mushrooms (Grifola frondosa), and I actually mean dozens of them. We were somewhat forced to come up with ways to use the bounty beyond the traditional preservation tactics of dehydration and freezing, so we worked on developing a jerky made from the larger fronds. Our original recipe was published here in 2013, then copied, adapted, re-copied, changed, and inspired many other recipes by other bloggers and mushroom hunters for mushroom jerky made with different varieties of mushrooms like honeys, oysters, and king oysters. Here is our original recipe that we still use every year, and will start using very soon this coming autumn season as the maitake start to fruit. Hen of the Woods Jerky Makes about 2 cups marinade, enough for a large hen For the marinade: 1 c. sweet apple cider 3/4 c. low sodium soy sauce, or tamari 2-4 cloves garlic, chopped 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper 1/2 tsp. ground fennel 5 Tbsp. maple syrup 1/2-1 Tbsp. Sriracha chili-garlic sauce 1. Place all marinade ingredients in a blender, and puree for a minute. Pour the marinade in a glass or non-reactive shallow pan, preferably one with a cover. 2. Clean the hen of the woods mushroom, making 1/8" thick slices of the core and the larger fronds. All parts can be used, but they will dehydrate at different rates and shrink up quite small. 3. Boil the mushroom for 10 minutes, and drain completely. Place the boiled hen pieces in the marinade while still hot, and refrigerate for 4-6 hours. 4. Remove the pieces of hen from the marinade and drain the excess liquid off before arranging on dehydrator trays. If drying in the oven, use wire racks placed on a sheet pan. Arrange the marinated mushroom on the trays and dehydrate at 120-130°F for 6-12 hours, until dried and leathery. The time will vary based on the thickness and sizes of the pieces, so check it often. 5. Store in an airtight jar or vacuum pack. We often have more mushroom pieces than the dehydrator can handle at once, so we use the marinade one more time to flavor another batches, the second batch getting soaked a bit longer, until we use up all the hen. Check out these photos to see how much a very thick frond will shrink up, the top picture is raw, then the center picture is after boiling, and the third picture is after marination and dehydration.

Jamie Carlson shares tips on handling Hen of the Woods or, Maitake - a great mushroom with a excellent texture and many uses. They typically grow in the fall and like the south face side of a big Oak tree. They will grow from the ground over the roots of the Oak. When you find one you usually have plenty to use and store for later use. A good sized Hen can be 4-5 pounds. I like to dehydrate some and freeze the rest.

Purists, beware: this will not please you in the least. For one, it's not chicken, so there's that. For two, while we took inspiration from your Prince's, we do not intend for this to be a replication, just a vegetarian tribute to the real Nashville hot chicken. That said, this is pretty awesome! I had these hen of the woods mushrooms sitting in my fridge just asking me what I was going to do with them. We love taking inspiration from the common name of mushrooms as they offer some insight into the flavor and texture of the fungi. (See also Oyster Mushrooms Rockefeller.) So the 'hen' part of hen of the woods made me think of chicken, which made me think of Prince's Hot Chicken in Nashville. I couldn't shake the idea even though frying isn't typically in our repertoire. The texture of the mushrooms is perfect for this. The spice, while not overwhelming, is still really hot. You can add more or less cayenne as your taste may dictate. Make this for yourself as a treat sometime. You'll be glad you did. Nashville Hot Chicken-Style Hen of the Woods Mushrooms Canola oil for frying 2 tablespoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon cane sugar 1/4 cup 2% Greek yogurt 1/2 cup 2% milk 1 large egg (beaten) 2 large hen of the woods mushrooms* (sliced in half) 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 slices whole wheat bread Garlic dill pickle chips (for garnish) In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, add enough oil to fill halfway. You want the oil temperature to be 350 degrees. Prepare the rest of the ingredients while the oil heats up. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne, pepper, salt, garlic, and sugar and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, egg, and half of the spice mixture. Carefully toss the mushrooms in the yogurt and egg mixture and allow them to rest in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes. Using a food thermometer, check to make sure your oil is at 350. Add the remainder of the spices to a large food storage bag along with the flour. Shake to incorporate. Remove the mushrooms from the yogurt and egg mixture and add them to the bag. Carefully move the mushrooms around to coat with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour. Carefully add the flour coated mushrooms to the oil. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve on bread garnished with pickles. (Makes 2 servings.) *Also known as maitake mushrooms. Available at Whole Foods and Asian grocery stores.
