Laricifomes officinalis? Agarikon
    #22461624 - 11/01/15 11:00 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I pulled this off of a downed doug fir about 20 miles east of Seattle. Its pretty heavy for its size- pretty gnarly.  I've not seen anything quite like it, but my gut says Fomitopsis. Didn't get spore color confirmation- I suspect white. The brown areas of the pore surface are where it latched on to some leaves and moss- it does not stain when scratched.  Anybody got any ideas?

I think Laricifomes officinalis is a good guess. Fomitopsis ochracea is another possibility but I think that tends to have a different type of margin.

I think both will have a pale cream context and tube color.

Well, I always struggle to describe smells, but its earthy... woody... subtle hints of fruit.  Kind of bright on the back end... maybe a little watermelon rind or cucumber. It smells good.  Not overwhelming or off-putting aroma by any means.  Actually it smells fantastic.  Like all the intricacies of life crammed into one 8 inch by 6 inch blob o' brown and white.  Full approval.

Thanks for taking a look Mrcloudy.  And thanks for putting together that sic Ganoderma guide.  Brilliant work.

I cut a couple of hunks out of it to throw on some cardboard.  Definitely has a context similar to F. pinicola.  I always think chewy when I look at it, but this context is a little softer and easier to slice.  At least in the small area where I took it off the tree.  I tasted a bit and it was quite bitter.  I'm leaning heavily towards Laricifomes officinalis. Anybody got any special recipes for making medicine out of these?  Basic tincture I suppose? Maybe it'll make a good fermented fizzy beverage ingredient.
