Beech tree Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hello, I'm a complete novice when it comes to mushrooms. Recently I stumbled upon a fallen Beech tree and I was impressed with the many different kinds of fungi were growing from it. I'm hoping you guys can perhaps identify a few. The forum rules state that you can only ask for identification of one mushroom per thread, so I am going to post multiple threads asking for identification of each mushroom on the tree. Each one was found on the same tree in New York during the fall season. This is the third mushroom I was curious about. I didn't smell any odor. Some of them were quite large, you can see the tree leafs for comparison.The underside seemed smooth and either had a burned or white color. The top was darkest near the center and became light when approaching the margins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Ischnoderma resinosum, the "Resin Polypore". When it's still fairly young, there are often beads of "resin" dotting the underside. https://www.mushroomexpert.com/ischnoderma_resinosum.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
