Dip the mushrooms into the buttermilk. Make sure that every part of the mushroom is covered.
Mix all the spices and sprinkle them right on top. I want to be pretty generous and how much of the spice mix you put on for all their amazing color and these mushrooms are actually pretty mild. They're flavor especially after you cook them.
Put the mushroom pieces into the flour about five at a time. That's about as many as we can fit into the pan before you start frying.
Heat a pan about 325 to 350 degrees and you want about a third of an inch to half an inch of oil in the pan.
Dip these mushrooms into the pan and fry for approximately 3 minutes per side. When they get golden brown these look great.
Fried chicken of the woods is ready. You can serve this as an appetizer as a snack or as a main dish we love to serve it with mashed potatoes and it's great with either ketchup or another dipping sauce like ranch.
