Shroomeddy Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Found these in Hampton VA growing off a root a few inches from a cut oak or maple stump can't remember which one. There were two other bigger clusters that were fan shaped as hen or chicken of the woods would grow. Has a very earthy aroma and leathery stringy texture when peeled. It did start staining black after handling it and was dark black within 30 mins or so. I thinking black staining polypore. I have a few great uses if it is and will share the recipes once done.

Dave W Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I think so. It looks like there's some dark staining in a few areas. Rub the marginal area of a frond and wait 3 minutes to see if a stain develops. Usually, M. sumstinei will stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
