daniel2002 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 This looks very similar with Lentinus Tigrinus or Panus Tigrinus. In South-Eastern Romania is quite common, especialy in the soft wood forests near Danube river. If this is the same mushroom, it is also edible bot only when is young otherwise is like chewing gum.

Dave W Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Lentinus sounds like a good proposal to me. Nice photo of the "toothed" gills. Here are a few photos of Lentinus lepideus that I found this year. Although the name "Lentinus lepideus" is applied to this mushroom in most field guides, my understanding is that the current name is Neolentinus lepideus. Spore print color for Lentinus species, both lepideus and tigrinus, listed as "white, cream, or yellow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I fried a small piece of one of the younger caps. It was okay, decent flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
