PNW ID Request - Polypore?
    #18905307 - 09/29/13 12:41 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Habitat:
In the woods on a broken evergreen stump about 3000 feet up in the Cascade Range

Gills:
Pores, attached with a little stem thing that I took off in the woods. I pocketed the thing right quick to get back to my other activities.

Stem:
Thin, but I believe considered a lateral stem if I am using the term correctly. It grew sideways off the side of the stump.

Cap:
5-6 inches long and about 2-2.5inches wide. about an inch to an inch and a half thick. The skin is very smooth, but has a little give to it when I push on it. I've noticed it does sort of crack a little bit after been pushed in.

Spore print color:
It's like a brownish, maybe purplish color. I've only had it set on a paper towel for an hour or so. If I must get a good sporeprint for an id for this I can put it on white paper.

Bruising:
None

Other information:
Smells like the woods. My dad said it kinda smells like fish but I think that's because I had shrimp before and the smell was still on my hands:P
I wish I could have gotten a photo in the habitat, but I did not have a camera ready.



If this turns out to be edible, how can I go about preserving this glorious looking fruit? Any suggestions on what to do with it?

Ganoderma tsugae, I think.  Look it up and compare.

But looks like it's too old to use.  The brown pore surface indicates either that it is old or that you mangled it.  Was it white when you picked it?  And the cap seems quite dark also.

Spore print should be brown/rusty brown for G. tsugae.  Don't sporeprint on paper towels...  White paper for dark spores or aluminum foil for light or dark.

"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."
