Artist Conk and Turkey Tail
    #26637541 -

I recently read about the possible health benefits of Artist Conk and even heard people referring to it as white reishi.  Man it is everywhere where I live!  I've never paid any attention to it, but needing a little walk and break from work at home I went and collected a tiny bit for a tea or tincture.  But like I said - it's everywhere!

This tree was covered in them (that's a size 14 foot)



I really liked this cluster coming out of a stump



And some nice fresh turkey tail -



Anyone ever do anything with Ganoderma Applanatum aside from scratching drawings of more mushrooms into their pores?  Are these actually sought after medicinally like reishi?

You know, I have been interested in these as well, and man they seem to be a long lived mushroom!

I scratched my initials deep into a big old artist conk a few years back, and I went out the other day, and the thing is still alive, but it's bottom is totally grown back in and it looks brand new.

It's quite amazing just how resilient and how long they live.

I would like to use some for health benefits, but it would be a shame to kill them because of how long they live.

When I was reading about them, I could picture specific mushrooms that I walk by all the time on my way to gourmet mushroom spots.  They've been around so long, they're part of the scenery the way a tree might be!

I kinda felt the same way, and just cut a piece off of one, though I did find an enormous dead one lying at the base of a tree.  I'm making some prints from that piece now.

Wonder if you could just cut small chunks off of them, and maybe they would still live and recover?
