Got into herbalism a few months back and plan on growing a bunch of beneficial plants and herbs this year. I love the outdoors, fishing, hunting, cooking, becoming more self sufficient and long to be a homesteader one day.
That mushroom could be fomitopsis schrenkii or fomitopsis mounceae depending on your altitude. Maybe the former given you're in Idaho. We have similar ones in Europe, fomitopsis pinicola, but they're not edible and not really interesting. Fomes fomentarius is kinda similar and much more interesting for fire making. Fomitopsis schrenkii is a perennial, woody conk with a fan-like shape. The surface is smooth and can be resinous, and usually ends with a bumpy margin. The colour usually follows a set pattern- at base a whiteish orange, then darkening to a true orange or brown, then lightening to a creamy-white at the margins.
I really enjoyed this video! I just got into wild foraging here in Florida. My little girl loves to do it with me and coincidentally her favorite things to look for are mushrooms😂
Great video! I make botanical jellies and just made a batch of Queen Anne’s Lace jelly. One DEFINITELY needs to do their research, as many pretty wildflowers are absolutely deadly. For those unaware and don’t know the difference between QAL and poisonous hemlock, it can mean the difference between life and death!!

Fen I love you on video. Good job on your own filming. Please make more. You should have a channel too!
He has a channel. You can find it by searching for Fen Hayes. He’s just getting started so he only has a few videos on there.
Elderberries are toxic?! I eat tons of them while hunting in the fall mountains of Utah.😬 Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
