Purple shroom found in the woods
    #19071225 - 11/01/13 05:47 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat:
I found this mushroom near an old graveyard, deep in the woods near my house in eastern NC.

Gills:
looks like the gills have a rusty-looking moss on them, Almost looks like its rotted.

Stem:
Length: 3 1/2 in., diameter: 1/2 in., color: purple, texture: tough, hard to squeeze,solid, thick

Cap:
3 1/2 in., purple, ridged, looks like a seashell, convex

Spore print color:
do not have one but I'm willing to do one if necessary

Bruising:
dark purple

Other information:
no scent










Thank you for your help. I've never seen one like this before, but I do not see many around my area anyways.

That is a Ganoderma.

Looks like G. lucidum.

A bit old.

What's going on with the pore surface? Is something else growing on it?

Looks like it is changing from pores to the other surface type. The shiny stuff.

Not sure though.

Thank you Ganzig! Very interesting. Looks like this is a wild version of the ones they use in medicine, according to the bit I read on a website named after this shroom.

It is exactly what is used for medicine.

I have only ever used wild collections myself.
I have only made a tincture once though.
I am still in the process. I have 8 more days till
I bottle.

You could make a simple tincture with it if you like. It's rather easy.

There are a few different ways to do it.

The easiest.

Cut it with a bread knife into small pieces. Dry them out.

Blend them in a strong blender when dry so that they are pulverized.

Submerge the material in grain alcohol or at the very least a 100 proof clear spirit.

Let sit for at least a month.

From here you can dilute it with water. I think you can go as high as
3 parts water. It could be 1/2 and 1/2 though. Mine I am making will have
no water added.

Next you should boil it for I think like 10 minutes to get a water
extraction.

Cool, filter, bottle, consume.

Thanks for those instructions, I will consider it. I was reading some of this article http://suketuhealth.weebly.com/magic-of-ganoderma.html and saw where it says

"Wild Ganoderma is very rare and is difficult to collect. Even if someone finds it by chance, its effects are always lost because of aging. It becomes hard like leather. They may also be toxic. Since they are haphazardly collected, quality control is impossible."

This sort of makes me iffy on whether to or not. The strange shiny stuff on the pores is slightly disconcerting also. I am new at dealing with this type of thing so I want to be careful.

Nearly everything in that quote is incorrect.

I knew something about that part didn't make sense. Obviously when it was first discovered ages ago it had to be used from the wild.

By the way, do you think it would be possible to clone this? I've never done that before but it sounds like it would be a lot of fun, as long as its not difficult. Sorry to ask so many questions.

Easily cloned. I just got an amazing cloned culture from a shroomerite
who found some and decided to clone it.

They fruited very well.

I've found a few of those in Japan, except the ones I found were more colorful.

I can't answer your question exactly but I don't think these shroomd die easily. Your pic looks like a baby. I found one that was as tall as my knee!
