Yes if anyone can mass produce chicken of the woods (not to be confused with hen of the woods) that would be awesome. It makes the best fake chicken nuggets. The texture is spot on, and when it's battered and fried the mushroom taste is pretty minimal.

Commercial plug spawn for chicken of the woods is widely available, and there are some small-scale producers.

Yields are unpredictable at scale though, so it's more of a farmer's market product at the moment. It's not like morels though, where even small-scale production is very difficult.

If you're not allergic to them. I don't know that you'd really be able to sell them commercially. I don't even see them sold at farmers markets.
