Probably you’ve already IDed these, but Paul stamets discusses birch polypore in many of his talks. I don’t hear much about the other ganodermas you found. I think you have to get into the scientific literature for stuff like that. Good luck. I love the polypores too. I can’t help myself, I’m just drawn to them.

Those black ones are just old dry Birch Polypore😁

Make tea out of them??

I just discovered a forest in MA that has the similar spooky vibe & kinda empty tree souls

Great to hear! Keep hunting 😀

If you don't know what a mushroom is then please do not rip them off the tree. Not unless you plan on using them. Animals in nature need to eat them.

Hello 🙂 The white ringed one is the Cracked Cap Polypore
