Hen of the woods or maitake mushroom. A frilled fungus with many caps that grows on trees and which is edible when it is very young.
A name in Lake Superior for the lake trout. A freshwater char living mainly in lakes in northern North America. As in Europe, this char is not a common fish. Lake trout were fished commercially in the Great Lakes until lampreys, overharvest and pollution severely reduced the stocks. Commercial fisheries still exist in some areas of the Great Lakes and smaller lakes in northern Canada.
A name for the ocean jacket. This fish is usually marketed headless as the head is held to be very ugly. They are found in the southern coastal waters of Australia. The head is practically half the length of the fish with a very small mouth with beak-like teeth. The smooth skin which, like the monkfish (US: angler fish), does not have normal scales, is always removed for cooking. You can see that these are likely to be deep water fish. The firm flesh has a distinctive flavour and they are a useful addition to soups.
