Resinous Polypore
A late-fall polypore of dead hardwoods. Young fruiting bodies are surprisingly soft and fleshy, with velvety pinkish-brown to brown zoned caps, a thick whitish margin, and whitish pores that bruise brown; mature ones become dark brown, bald and tough. Its white rot separates the annual rings of the wood.
Young, soft specimens are reported to be edible when cooked; mature ones are hard and unpalatable. Edibility is not widely documented, so try only a small amount. No dangerous look-alikes are reported.

Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
