Reishi

Here I go over identification and habitat of Ganoderma tsugae. Also known as Red Reishi, or Varnish Shelf, this is one of the most magnificent fungi to see in person in the wild..

I have many of these in the woods around my house

Nice! Lucky you.

Thanks for the video! In my back yard, I have a huge reishi growing on an old hemlock stump. It hasn't rotted, even after being there for several years. It just keeps growing! Is this common?

[@RootAndEarth]

Thank you for watching! I don’t know if that is common, but where I collect them, after they drop all of their spores they will remain in excellent condition until the freeze and thaw cycles of winter damage the cell walls enough to take a toll.

@@RootAndEarth We get some pretty cold winters here in central Ontario Canada. But this beast just keeps on growing! LOL Actually, it's three mushrooms, closely stacked together. Thank you for the reply!
