Reishi mushroom???
    #26984736 - 10/14/20 09:07 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Saw this mushroom growing in the middle of the trail while out for a run.  Is this a reishi mushroom?  And if so anyone know the species? Located in southeastern louisiana, north of New Orleans.

Def. looks to be polypore. Was it growing on or from wood or a stump?
Possibly a Ganoderma curtisii

No it was just growing out of the ground which kind of threw me off!

Next time pay close attention to where you harvest it. Not all wood is created equal, and ALOT of it is actually buried. Especially in cleared areas (such as middle of a trail) where trees have been cut down and what’s left are stumps that over time degrade and decompose to where they are almost completely buried. Also, root systems extend all over the place...and I have noticed that many mushrooms will grow off the slightly decomposed or even living root systems. It’s hard to tell what polypore u got there tho. Looks cool!

(EDIT)—I just saw all the pieces of mulch within the mushroom itself, that explains the substrate lol.
