ID Confirmation Requested, Ling Chih?
    #7802397 - 12/26/07 10:54 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I noticed a lot of these during my hunt last week, and just wanted to get a confirmation on my ID (Ling Chih):

Location #1




The mushroom seemed to have grown into this leaf.


Some foreign growth on a dead shroom

Location #2







This mushroom was found on this tree (below)


The cavernous area of the trunk was home to two more mushrooms

I was pretty excited to look down and find those.

Habitat: Woods #1- on the side of a decomposing tree stump, #2- on/in a living tree

Tubes/Pores: rusty brown to white

Stem: (when present) thick, flat, off-center

Cap: 3”-8” wide, reddish-brown in color, somewhat layered

Location: Southeastern Virginia

Date: 20 December 2007

I'm pretty sure these are Ling Chih...can anyone confirm?

If it is Ling Chih, how are they in terms of edibility? I have read that it is commonly eaten by the Chinese...are they worth eating?

Also, is that a maple tree in the 6th picture?

It does appear to be a kind of gandoderma.

I don't have much experience with gandoderma though, so I can't tell if it's lucidum or not.
Nice pictures though. I believe tea is the preferred method of igestion.

Looks like ling chi to me, don't know if the tree is a maple tree.

Tea is the way to go with ling chi, the ones in your picture look a little on the old side. I like to pick them when they're leading edge is still white and growing.
