   Pickled these last night.  Saw the mushroom growing at the base of a   
   live oak, in a neighbor's yard.  Harvested with permission.  The   
   neighbor said, "I just run 'em over with the lawnmower."  The host oak   
   had a large injury near the base, and I could see rot in the heartwood.   
     The entire mushroom rosette was fresh and moist.  Laetiporus   
   cincinnatus seems to be just as common as L. sulphureus around here.   
      
   Pickled with 1/2 white vinegar, 1/2 water, 1/2 c. brown sugar, sea salt,   
   dill, tarragon and white pepper.  The mushroom was pulled apart into   
   thin strips (Laetiporus lends itself to being prepared like this).   
   Vidalia onions were the only onion we had on hand, so I added one,   
   thinly sliced; See:
