  • Be really really carefull eating wild mushrooms, thanks for the vids

  • Also I don't think I'd recommend eating mushrooms off of dead trees.

    I heard (from Daniel Vitalis) that the health of a mushroom depends largely on the health of the tree its being hosted by.

  • I heard someone say to only harvest from live trees...maybe ask David himself...

  • Yes, I agree with DalePinnock. That is a Ganoderma applanatum. Just found 3 of these last week.

  • Hi Matt and Gela. What you found there is 'Ganoderma applanatum' - otherwise known as artsists bracket. I find them here in sunny Cambridge, UK quite often, and have an 18inch specimen in my office staring back at me as I type. It is the same family as reishi (ganoderma lucidum) and has similar chemistry and properties - just to a lesser extent. :o)

  • They do look like crop circles.. maybe you shall have some visitors :)

    Angela is a truely inspiried ANASTASIA GODDESS !

  • I was thinking the exact same thing.

  • @scherryvalentine

    Oooh okay. I stand corrected :)

  • I think the mushroom you found was an Artist's conk (Ganoderma applanatum)
