The chicken of the woods mushroom developed a bright orange color to deter herbivory. (lol orange mushroom taste like chicken)
Chicken of the woods can be prepared in any way you use chicken, and has a similar taste and texture. It can even be fried!
The mushroom also has the ability to fight staph infections.
