    Are you talking about cooking with the mushroom called “Chicken of the Woods”? “Chicken of the Woods” is a good edible mushroom, whose flesh is sometimes likened (in texture) to chicken. Some people experience digestive upsets from eating this species. Old specimens are rather tough. Try frying slices in breadcrumbs with lemon juice. It does not dry well but will freeze (uncooked).

    I found this Omelet recipe

    Polypore Omelet

    3 Tablespoons butter
    1 cup diced Chicken of the Woods
    1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cream cheese
    2 or 3 shallots, diced
    1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    5 or 6 eggs
    1/2 cup cream or half and half
    Salt and pepper

    Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan over low heat.
    Beat the eggs and cream, add salt and pepper to taste; pour into the pan.
    As the eggs start to cook, sprinkle the Chicken of the Woods, cheese, shallots and parsley over the top.
    Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more until the egg mixture sets.
    Fold the omelet over and remove from the heat; cover and let sit for 1 minute.

    It looks like it can be used in recipes calling for mushrooms, especially egg dishes.

    Hope this helps! ~-~

    Not really an answer, just a comment on one of the other answers. GSUSA no longer lets us cook in coffee cans :(

    Thanks, that really interesting. I tried one from this lasagna recipe site before but it wasn’t so hot. I think I’ll try a different one tonight though!
