What is this?
    #18804765 - 09/05/13 07:25 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I saw this polypore growing on a log in a park in Toronto on my way home from work today. Don't really have much other info to offer...

Wow. I dunno. Did you get a shot of the underside? Or perhaps a spore print?

I bet a print is not necessary for this ID but the underside shot is.

Nice... Thanks :-)
I'm going to grab it on my way home from work tomorrow and take a few more pics to make 100% sure.

I thought birch polypore had medicinal qualities, make tea out of it?


--------------------
"Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats."

"The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

"The Tyrolean Ice Man, who was frozen and mummified in the Copper Age, 5000 years ago, had among his possessions a curious pair of hide strips that held pieces of Piptoporus betulinus. Archaeologists speculate that the Ice Man used the birch polypore for medicinal purposes"

The medicinal use for the Iceman was to rid the body of nematodes with diarrhea.



Found this in an old thread =

According to paul stamets book "mycomedicinals" Piptoporus betulinus has loads of medicine. Tumor inhibiting in vitro. synthesized from it Piptamine - an antibiotic - is toxic to melanoma with no adverse effects to the host.

also used to stop bleeding, prevent bacterial infection, and is antimicrobial against intestinal parasites. not to mention all the survival stuff, knife sharpening, good fire starting tinder, as well as good to carry a smoldering coal over long distances.

-"Medicinal properties

Piptoporus betulinus has anti-inflammatory compounds and antibacterial properties.

Compounds found in the fruit body of the fungus, particularly polyporenic acid, are poisonous to the parasitic whipworm Trichuris trichura."

In 1998 scientists found evidence of a parasite infection in the digestive tract of Otzi's remains. The parasites may have caused stomach pain and anemia (iron deficiency in the blood). A more recent analysis (2012) of DNA from the remains revealed that Otzi was also infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Some scholars think that the Lyme infection may have caused him back and leg pain, and that the tattoos he wore over those areas may have been therapeutic.

Fungus of the type found with Otzi's remains
Also found with the preserved remains were two fungi (mushrooms) threaded with a leather cord, rather like a keychain.  Upon closer inspection, scientists discovered that the fungi were Piptoporus betulinus which causes severe diarrhea if eaten, and may have helped treat the parasitic infection. These mushrooms also have antibiotic, antiviral, and antitumor properties, making them potentially very useful to a man who lived 53 centuries before modern medicine.


What are we to make of these findings? It seems that even in 3,300 BCE people understood that their ailments were caused by something that could be treated. Not only that, but modern science tells us that those treatments may have actually been quite effective. Though medicine has progressed a lot in the last five thousand years, it's humbling to think that our ancestors were off to a good start.

This is fucking incredible to me, we really seemed to have gotten lost an a species.
5,000 years ago= incredible natural medine.
500 years ago= bloodletting and drilling holes in peoples heads.

I don't agree. Now is the most amazing time to be alive. Longest life expectancy ever.

Also, dude got tattoos on areas that pained him to fix it. Pretty sure
he and others of his time did kooky things to fix ailments. I'll try to find
some examples.

I just don't buy into that ancient wisdom thing. People are people. Some things worked,
and a lot of things were speculation and superstition until the utilization of the
scientific method.

I hadn't seen the "official" site before, too bad it's a really crappy design and exceedingly stupidly difficult to navigate and you only get a few paragraphs on each page.

First pic I've seen of his funguses.  :awesome:

You'd think the guy they got to body model might have had at least a bit of a tan, but no.

I had no idea 'bout that diarrhea thing...  So, tea in a small dose and don't plan on going anywhere for awhile?
