Nick.P Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Found this mushroom in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and was wondering if it is edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Almost certainly no, not edible. I concur with your Ganoderma ID, but unsure of species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 What kind of tree is it growing on? Ganoderma is a possibility. But I think Fomitopsis should also be considered. Either way, the polypore is not edible in the usual sense. But some types of Ganoderma or Fomitopsis polypores are used to make tea or other extracts.
