Birkenporling - Fomitopsis betulina | Heilpilz-Ruby

It's time for a Friday Fungi Fun Fact 🍄! Today we're talking about Fomitopsis betulina, AKA the Birch Polypore, with Maine Audubon Field Naturalist Stacia Brezinski. This abundant mushroom grows primarily on Paper and Yellow Birch and looks like a hoof growing out of the tree trunk. Want to learn more about the Birch Polypore (including the fact that it was found with Ötzi, a 5,000-year-old natural mummy found in the Alps) and more fungi you can find around Maine?

Let’s talk about Birch Polypore today! Or Fomitopsis betulina 🍄🌳 There is so much to say about these incredible brown rot fungi in a reels time, but what I want to get across today is how much easier it is to identify compared to Chaga. In some ways more recommended! With all of the anti inflammatory and anti bacterial properties, this isn’t a fungus to just pass on by ;) use it for tinder too! I will make a whole reel about that in the future :) #mushlove and have a great week! #fy #fyp #expl

Le polypore du bouleau ( Fomitopsis betulina ) est un champignons très intéressant qui était utilisé autrefois pour ses propriétés antibiotique mais egalement pour retirer le morfil des couteaux, après l'aiguisage de ces derniers. Un champignons fascinant qui est considéré comme non comestible parceque sans aucune saveur, voire légèrement amère et surtout très coriace. Cependant il m'arrive de le faire sécher et de le réduire en poudre pour l'ajouter à certaines de mes infusions. #apprendresurti
