Ganoderma lucidum, good luck eating them - they might be a little chewy

Looks more like Ganoderma tsugae. What kind of tree were they growing on?

they're called a conk for a reason, it'd probably approximate chewing on a boiled 2x4

If they are as healthy as many claim, then it is well worth the trouble of making tea...

Thank you Twiztidsage, I plan on making tea's for this upcoming winter. I usually always get a cold. I would love to take cultures but Im not so well equipped for this. I lack a flowhood, agar and dish's.
They were found in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I will not get too specific as i do not trust the harvesting etiquette of some people. When i take from the woods i always leave a few behind and ensure that what i take will appear in the next season. I don't know if Ganoderma is something i should be worried about but i would think that it CANNOT hurt.
They were found within throwing distance of Lake Superior or another Lake (smaller of-course).

Thank you very much. I knew as soon as i saw it (my buddy saw it first) that it was somewhat extraordinary. I'll find a few more before the onset of winter, God willing.
