The Fomitopsis pinicola - White Ringed Bracket Fungi

Oh playful boys of the forested groves
With caps all alone or fruiting in droves
All colours from browns to bright blues and red
Beneath are the searching, invisible threads
Connecting all plant in the life and death plan
Continue, caring not for endeavours of man..

    A great shot, especially given your 1000 ISO shot. Warm colours that do warm my heart. I especially like the wetness and dark intensity of the branch they stuck to, still showing off new buds here and there. Do you also eat some of the species in India? We learned from a woman originating in the eastern parts of Europe. Posted 11 years ago

      Yes, we do eat mushrooms, but they are cultivated white mushroom, I don't have that much information to the family which they belong to. I have seen some people collecting them from forest and selling, but I have not tried them yet. During my studies I learnt that colored mushrooms are poisonous, that's why I never try the wild one's. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the species name yet even after long investigation, this one seems to be real rare one, i believe.
      Agaricus bisporus, These are the edible mushrooms in india. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_bisporus       Posted 11 years ago, modified 11 years ago

        This doesn't look right... Fomitopsis pinicola are bigger and have a different shape. These are very thin and look more like Trametes, but it could be something else. Posted 11 years ago
