Use extreme caution when eating mushrooms that you find growing in the wild.
Chicken Mushroom
The chicken mushroom can grow quite large, but since there isn’t a poisonous look-alike, as with other types of wild mushrooms, it can be safely added to the menu. As long as it is moist and soft, this chicken-flavored mushroom is a great survival food. Chanterelle
This edible mushroom tends to smell sweet and fruity, yet have a peppery taste suitable for a variety of dishes. Beware though, there is a look-a-like called the Jack-o-Lantern (Omphalotus olearius) that is deadly, so make sure that you actually have a Chanterelle before serving it up for dinner. To learn more, go to Common Wild Mushrooms. There are a wide variety of ways to survive hunger in the wilderness, including edible plants, trees and mushrooms. |

Wild edible mushrooms are a great survival food that can be found all over the United States, city or wilderness. Of course, some mushrooms require specific settings or environments to grow, such as only growing near certain trees, while others won’t grow near there at all.
The Chicken mushroom (Laetiporus sulfurous) most often found in the fall is one of the easiest edible mushrooms to identify. Being a polypore, instead of having an umbrella-shaped cap it will have a top that looks like a bunch of orange lettuce leaves all scrunched together. Instead of bright orange it may also be a more muted salmon color, perhaps with white edges.
This may come as a surprise to some people but Chanterelle mushrooms (Cantharellus) do not grow on a Styrofoam trays covered in plastic wrap. These funnel-shaped, yellow or orange-colored wild mushrooms grow all over the world, including North America.
