Sheepheads or Hen of the Woods are one of the best mushrooms to pick. They only grow on red oak stumps which are 4 to 5 years old, are easy to identify, and can be up twenty pounds. They can be white, gray, black or brown. They grow in September and October and shoot up after a rain. They are a mild tasting mushroom. The flesh must be perfectly white when cut otherwise they are too old.
