Thank you! I just seen some of this at the weekend and have been reading up on it to make sure it's safe. I'll go back for it today :) I read that Otzi the 5300 year old Mummy found in the Alps had some of this on him.

We used it in field archery as it will stop any arrow,so made good targets. What is the fatter version called? That was the best natural armour known to man. Brill channel

[@unifiedmongoose7915]

this is interesting about the armor do you have any interesting links?

[@hananahbanana9375]

Thanks, I found some today. How much would you use for tea?

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Sorry for late reply, I usually use one or two thin slices per tea. Did you try some?

[@hananahbanana9375]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS thanks, I dried it and grated about half a teaspoon in per cup. Do you find it smells a bit like liquorice when dried?

Have you tried it as a fire starter? Coal Extender.💥💥💥

The birch polypore contains also some antifungual properties. I'm wondering how does that affect a tincture mix with other mushrooms like turkey tail for example or reishi. Do you have any idea about how it interacts in this cases? Many thanks!

[@timothylongmore7325]

Many mushrooms have anti fungal properties. These compounds are used to fight off other fungi but would not adversely affect other fungi in a tincture. Combos are made all the time.
