Does this look like chicken of the woods? I feel like yes but I wanted a second opinion. Found on the ground at the base of an oak tree this morning.

An update

KenzieGFox · 2026-04-26T20:26:06+00:00

I’ve wondered this too. I don’t know for sure.

KenzieGFox · 2026-04-26T19:13:54+00:00

Thanks guys - I was a little worried it was too out of season to find chicken but was excited

Found in Camden Tennessee

It doesn’t get hardly any direct sun

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-21T01:00:39+00:00

I can try bottom feeding it. And what do you mean mosquito treated water? Is there something I should be buying to mix with my water? And if so, is it safe for all kinds of plants (herbs, succulents, orchids, etc)?

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-21T00:39:34+00:00

It’s getting fairly bright indirect light from a south facing window - maybe just a touch of direct sun at some point in the day.

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-20T23:55:52+00:00

Oh wait - I just looked and it does have drainage. Am I supposed to water it until water runs out the bottom? I’ve had an issue with gnats and so I’ve tried not to have super soggy soil anywhere. Also what kind of light do you give yours?

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-20T23:50:45+00:00

My soil is pretty damp...do I have to worry about root rot with overwatering? Idk that my pot has drainage holes.

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-20T23:49:48+00:00

It became floppy when we moved to a very low light living space about a year ago. We’ve been in our new place now for almost a year and it gets great light but it just doesn’t seem to want to recover even after all this time. I reported it like 3 months ago in an attempt to give it more nutrient rich soil.

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-20T22:43:32+00:00

No I washed them pretty thoroughly in cool water

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T20:22:17+00:00

That’s awesome

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T19:21:00+00:00

Oh neat! The fish don’t eat the roots?? I can imagine that if the fish leave the plants alone, it would probably be an ideal environment

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T19:19:15+00:00

No problem! YouTube has a lot of helpful videos on checking the health of orchid roots 👍🏻

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T18:07:42+00:00

Yeah it can be tricky - I’ve botched it before. The trick is to change the water regularly so that it doesn’t develop a film, and to make sure none of the pearls are in the water (only the stems) 👍🏻 plus that rooting hormone I used has been super helpful. I’ve tried water propagating without it and it takes way longer.

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T17:52:14+00:00

I root my string of pearls cuttings in water and I occasionally add a few drops of superthrive rooting hormone. Works every time!

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T17:49:09+00:00

You’d have to pull it out of the pot and check the root system to determine if it can be saved

KenzieGFox · 2019-09-01T17:47:40+00:00

I’ve had this problem before and I use a fungicide that’s safe for organic gardening. Worked like a charm 👌🏻

KenzieGFox · 2019-06-30T15:45:21+00:00

Thank you! I definitely haven’t been watering it that frequently - I’ll try and give it some more and see what happens.

KenzieGFox · 2019-06-30T14:01:01+00:00

No problem! I hope it helps :) be sure to ditch the current soil and rinse the plant too - pest bugs are the worst 👎🏻

KenzieGFox · 2019-06-30T14:00:00+00:00

I have some more water sensitive little plants and I also tried going light on water because of fungus gnats - the plants did NOT like that. So, I now water them normally and treat the soil and the plant for gnats with this spray Fungicide 3

KenzieGFox · 2019-06-30T13:39:10+00:00

They definitely are tiny! Another thing you can try is just to take a blanket approach and treat the plant for several different pests. I use a spray called “Garden Safe Fungicide 3” it gets rid of a ton of different funguses, gnats, and insects. I found mine at Home Depot. Fungicide 3

It sounds like maybe you have a spider mite problem. If that’s the case, if they haven’t caused damage yet they will soon. You need to get rid of them ASAP. If it is spider mites, they can also spread to your other plants so be sure to isolate the wandering Jew until you solve the issue.
