Hi there:) My name is Lauren, and I'm relatively new to foraging but I'm in love! I've collected chicken of the woods and reishi successfully so far, and I cannot wait to continue this journey. Just wanted to say hello to all my fellow shroom lovers, you're all beautiful creatures <3

Greetings!  Since you've found Reishi and you say you live in New Jersey I have a question if you don't mind.  I know Ganoderma tsugae grows on the Eastern Hemlock and in your region the tree species has been decimated by the Woolly Adelgid.  Are you finding the Reishi in small areas where the Hemlock tree has somehow survived (parasitic) or are you finding on deceased Hemlock (saprobic)?  I've found Reishi on Hemlocks that appear to be very healthy and also entirely dead and I'm curious about what degree it's parasitic/saprobic.  One day I might try to do a study by going through all the sample entries on MushroomObserver.
