Unidentified polypore

Even expert mycologists sometimes need more information to accurately identify a mushroom species.

It's important not to become overly-confident when identifying mushrooms in the wild. There are so many factors to consider in the identification process. We love seeing Paul Stamets set a good example and not jumping to any conclusions without due diligence in identifying this species of Polypore.

Paul Stamets is member, founder, owner, and “Chief Science Officer” of Fungi Perfecti, LLC - makers of Host Defense Mushrooms.
