Need help with polypore ID


Bruce

Recommended Posts

I need assistance with identification of this polypore that I discovered on today's foray. It was found growing at the base of a large oak tree. Pores are large, angular and decurrent. The cluster in this image is 16" across. A truly beautiful and impressive mushroom.

It was a lovely, cool day for a hike...but not that great of a day for collecting edibles. Boletes and chanterelles were either completely dessicated or riddled with insects; oysters were also well past their prime. In stark contrast, the pepper milkcaps were lovely and plentiful. A good, soaking rain would help.

looks like the start of a Berkeleys Polypore

I think you're right. Only one of my book references even mentions it, and that only in passing -- with a poor photo. Good match with the photos on this site. Thanks!
