RE: Weekday Nature Walk: Morel Hunt leads me to "The Great Ganoderma"

What an awesome shrooming place. I've always wanted to find those vieled polypores, though I've never seen them down here. Do you know what kind of tree they were growing on? Also what type of axe knife this is that? Looks useful for chopping down artist's conks.

Sort:  

These veiled polypores were growing on red pine. As far as I am aware, they almost exclusively grow on dead/dying conifers (source: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/cryptoporus_volvatus.html).

The hatchet is made by Fiskars (https://www.fiskars.com/en-us/gardening-and-yard-care/products/axes-mauls-and-machetes/hatchet-18-385081-1004). Looks like they are sold out online, but I was able to find one in the gardening section of my local Menards.

Cool I'll keep an eye out on the conifers. They are such weird mushrooms.

Next time I go to menards I'll look for that axe, should be handy for camping trips.
