Reishi?
#24330273 - 05/18/17 02:41 PM (6 years, 9 months ago) |

So i found a few of logs in the woods, this was one of the biggest i could take home, from others i just took small fruits and put them in baggie and in the fridge when i came home, they are now standing in the fridge for almost 1 week. If this is really reishi i will try to clone the ones in the fridge and let this fruit on the log get bigger.
So the question is, is this Reishi?
I tried to upload pictures in this thread but i don't know how to, so sorry and here is the link to my gallerie:

I will wait for one or two more replies and if this is really Reishi, i will clone it as soon as i can, and maybe trade it with someone to spread the nature

Looks more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomitopsis_pinicola
The underside does not turn dark brown when you scratch it, right?

I tried to scratch it a few times now and it really doesn't change colors. It stays white like it was before.
This means it's not Reishi? Does this shroom has any values?

Ganoderma will have white pore surface that will stain brown in all species.
You should scrape the bottom
Fomes pinicola is likely though

Looks like fomitopsis pinicola to me, a common polypore. I've read they share a lot of medicinal properties with the reishi and may even be better.

Yes.

It is really good for throwing at pedophiles, the police, republicans, rapists, and various other undesirables.
There have been some studies into possible medicinal value, you can find them here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Fomitopsis+pinicola

I must give props to all the guys who replied!
I am a bit sad that it isn't Reishi, as my culture died on me a few months ago and i thought i could clone that one from log, but now i will have to continue the search again for new possible Reishi's in the forests.
Thank you again to all those who contributed something to this thread!

Wow really nice fruit you have there, do you have a agar plate of it? Do you maybe have any Reishi culture and would be able to send it my way?
