Am thinking Hericium erinaceus, but the closest I'm getting chemical wise is Erinacine E, but it's been a long time since I brushed up on my ID's, let alone my chemistry. Loving the thread regardless

The sounds birds make, smells of fresh wild flowers. Love of all kinds, from friends and family, thy self and our neighbors. Beautiful sunrises to the darkest clouds dancing above in the sky. To forgive, learn, share and express. This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for. What comes as the result is nothing short of the core of human existence, to truly live free in body and mind.

Yes it is a Hericium erinaceus! I'm not very good with chemicals either. It's Beta-glucan and I want you to play now so it's your turn. Please post something.

It's actually a vitamin and is taken by many people as a supplement.
According to Sigma-Aldrich, it has a white to off-white color.
Here's a different drawing of the chemical:

Vitamin D. Produced from ergosterol upon exposure to light. Stamets says to put your shiitakes in the light to get your vitamin D!
Edit: specifically vitamin D2

Not to my knowledge, but its name is based on only producing two spores per basidium.
