Pheasant’s Back Mushroom or Polypore Scaly (Cerióporus Squamósus)

[dimarss]

Hello friends!

I think that many of you on a walk came across this large representative of the mushroom family.

I like this mushroom because it grows on high places such as old stumps or tree trunks, and because of this it is convenient to photograph it from below

Edible, but only young and tender specimens are suitable for food, as in old age the mushroom becomes too tough. The youth of the fungus is determined by a slight pinch of the edge of the hat - if it crumbles, then it is suitable for food. In times of famine, old specimens of the scaly tinder fungus were also used - mushroom broth was cooked from them.

Personally, I have never collected or tried this type of mushroom, I hope that someday this situation will be corrected, but not today.

I have a friend who collects these mushrooms and knows how to cook them deliciously, but somehow it so happened that I never managed to visit his tastings.

Is this mushroom found in your area? Have you eaten it before and what are your impressions?

Mushrooms are cool especially if they can be eaten. I've never come across this mushroom maybe it doesn't grow in Southeast Asia :)

According to Wiki, this mushroom can be found in Asia too.
Perhaps it germinates during the wet season for a limited time of the year...
