Wonders of winter: Honeycomb polypores & Gilled polypores

[@flyingshards595]

Thanks! I appreciate the interesting video!

It was interesting to be guided thru a different region of the country, I'm up in drippy Western Oregon. Coniferous trees dominate up here.
Deciduous trees really broaden varieties of fungi in your area.

I Love your video's Anna, I would call them "My little buddy" well most of them.

Found some similar polypores growing in clusters on sage brush wood this month here in Colorado at around 6k ft. They had a similar morphology with “honeycomb” interconnected gill structure, but more of a true cap and stem with a fringed or frilly margin, and velvety tomentose orangish cap surface… I think they are lentinus arcularius (spring polypore)

A fun fact and a hypothesis for ya:
"Subereous" can be used to describe something that is corky...
I also suspect that the differentiation between agaricoid, daedaloid, poroid and hydnoid hymenia comes down to different Turing pattern results from slight changes in a reaction-diffusion system expressed genetically.
TL:DR
A gilled (or hexagonal) polypore may only be a slight tweak genetically from a conventional poroid polypore, hence the seeming anomaly. 🤷

Good info

I adore iNaturalist, but it’s just not reliable when it comes to fungi.

Mushroom observer is better
