Dispatch - Chicken of the Woods cooked in a Thunder Storm

Dispatches

These dispatches are short form captions from our lives outdoors; sometimes we may be discussing a plant or tree, other times we’ll be waxing philosophical about nature. We hope to drop a few of these in-between the main episodes just to keep in touch with you during the month and to share what we believe to those all important moments in nature.

If you’re listening at home, enter an immersive experience of nature, crunching leaves, trickling streams, high winds at times, and two friends holding discourse in the outdoors.

In this dispatch we went out of an evening to catch a prey that had eluded Max so far…Chicken of the Woods! Although this chicken lives in a tree, and doesn’t need plucking before you eat it. As we covered the heath to an area of woodland that I had noted for being full of the fungus we were after we saw a loomed thunderhead coming our way…but what better backdrop to a supper under the leaves.
