Blackening polypore (Meripilus giganteus)

This large, common polypore can be distinguished from its (luckily entirely edible, or simple inedible rather than poisonous) potential confusions by its distinctive bruising - press hard on its surface (or simply handle it and wait a few moments) and it bruises a dark brownish black.

It's one of my favourite wild edibles. Some people complain of its somewhat sour taste, but I find boiling it in water and (vegan) butter and then draining it removes this entirely. It has a pleasant, fibrous texture, similar to meat or dried mango, and I like to use this to make a vegan pulled pork, here served in homemade bao buns. It was my first time making them - they were denser than they're meant to be, unclear if that was because they were gluten free or I over-proofed them. They're delicious as a vehicle for bbq sauce, though.

Little Nest Polypore

Trametes conchifer Syn. Poronidulus conchifer

This adorable tiny polypore species was on a hardwood twig in old growth bottomland woods near the Meramec River.

Trametes versicolor--Turkeytail

I think anyway. It helps to know that we absolutely have not classified all fungi out there. I have photos I've posted to mycology forums and no one knows what they are. Photos are mine, unedited.

Turkeytail isn't so much "edible" (too tough) as consumable--the typical use is to steep it for a bitter but medicinal tisane as it's believed to boost the immune system (it's not poisonous, but use your judgment on that). They can also be put into soup, like bay leaves.

Word of ethics: leave a third of the young ones you find, and only if there are a lot.

Vosges is pronounced [voʒ] (Yes, French likes silent letters)

Nanours is how I call my sweetheart. It's a mix of two words : "Nain" (dwarf) and "Ours" (bear). Imagine a bear with a beard and you've got the idea. (Dwarves from Tolkien's universe of course)

Ohmygod, so two days ago I had a feeling in the air that it might be time for Chicken of the Woods to fruit. I have a little spot on a tree I found years ago. Every year, I return to the tree to check for this tasty mushroom. I decided to drive there after work and sure enough, it was there, just beginning to emerge! AND showing mega signs of fast growth (those watery drops are metabolites that mean the mushroom is in a fast growth stage, the phenomenon is called “guttation”). So I took some pictures and decided to go back again last night to see how much it’s grown.

This tree is located in the parkway in a neighborhood outside of someone’s home. There I was again, snapping pictures, when the homeowner came outside to greet me and look at this beautiful mushroom specimen! Then a guy walking his dog also stopped to take photos and chat about the mushroom. I make educational mushroom posts over on the Los Angeles Mycological Society Instagram page (@la_mushrooms) so I showed him the posts I’ve been making about the mushroom growing outside his house. He told me that years ago someone from the local school told him the name of the mushroom and that he should eat it....and I was like “that was definitely me! I come to this tree every year!” THEN he invited me to have a beer with him. I needed to drive home soon so I had to decline but I’m so glad this homeowner is chill because I come every year to lurk around this tree and it looks hella weird to anyone with a disregard for ecology

Spotted these Polypore mushrooms growing on a tree in a suburban neighborhood. Unusual, because most Polypores that grow around here are Turkey Tails and their mimics. Thought it was Chicken of the Woods for a second, but is the wrong color. So, now I'm diving into my mycology guide to ID these mushrooms. I'm guessing these are parasitic and the tree host is in trouble.

Their size makes them hard to miss from several feet away. Granted, I am a total fungi nerd so...

The undersides seem the have teeth like pores mixed with typically polypore pores, instead of gills.

Color could be due to young age, but I didn't really see any bands or alternating colors. The size of the caps are easily 12 inches or more.

The host tree definatly took some damage and the fungi made themselves at home.

We'll see if I can sluth out this mushrooms identity...

Edit 1: according to my book, this is not so much a Polypore as being an ally. The "pores" have a teeth like apprence, but can easily be mistaken for pores. It's size and shape are also sugesstive of it's being a Conk. Also seems like a species that causes rot...

I'm thinking its time to take a short walk and get another look at these beauties...and look for more characters like hardness, bands, hyphe, color etc. And maybe bring some of it home to make spore prints.

Abernethy Forest, Scotland, August 2023

Birch polypore (Fomitopsis betulina)

This amazing fungus has been used for thousands of years as medicine for the immune system, as antiseptic bandages, as tinder, and even to sharpen razors.

It has a number of incredible properties, including being an antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal. It also contains betulinic acid, which can cause the destruction of cancer cells while not affecting healthy cells.

The one in the first picture is the perfect age for harvesting - young, not yet tough, and not yet opened out into a large hoof- or shelf-shaped body.

I dried out these young ones on a sunny windowsill and will be using them to make tea.
