An Offer I Can't Refuse

A guy who works in my building approached me and asked, "Would you be interested in any wild mushrooms?  Hen of the woods?"  With no hesitation I said I would be VERY interested.  He says he has more than he can handle. Every two years this dead oak on his property sprouts up crop after crop of hen of the woods.  His freezer is full.  I am doing him a favor by taking it.  Today he brings me a grocery store paper sack full of it.  I can't wait to try it.
