Thanks for your video, have always wondered about these in the ngāhere! I was wondering how the ash gets used as rongoā? Kia ora 😊

Thanks for your question! I use it as a poultice for drawing toxins in my clinic xx

Awesome, thanks Joanne. I think I've got some in my garden. I'll have to show you a picture so you can double check I've got it right.

That does not look like the ganoderma appalanatum that grows in north america. We have one that looks like the one you showed that's called the cracked cap polypore.

Do you know if there are any toxic lookalikes of Pākaiahi? I've found what looks to be Pākaiahi but how to be sure?
