    Me and my boyfriend ate it sauted in garlic and butter with salt and it is now one of our favorite mushroom! Haversted young, the younger the better and the silkier! It melts in the mouth and as the texture of silk tofu kinda. My boyfriend said it was even better than portobellas we buy in store and better than chanterelles even! ♥️🍄❤️

    Hey! I have been into mushrooms for the past year now and learn your land was and has been a staple in helping me learn how to identify mushrooms and trees. So I want to start off by saying thank you! Also I want to share that i have a nice ischnoderma resinosum patch right behind my house and have foraged and eaten them. They were very tastey had a rich meaty flavor. I enjoyed them a lot! I have since taken some mycelium samples and started the process of colonizing this mushroom on agar plates I've made In Hope's to cultivate. I hope that I can spread this fungi as it is my understanding that it is particularly good at decomposing environmental pollutants. I appreciate all that you do here in spreading the good word and I have much aspiration to help in growing the world of mycology. 🙏🌎🍄

    I LOVE resin polypore!!
    Cut off the tender white edges
    Like cutting asparagus, whatever comes off easily with a knife is edible.
    We call it Steak Mushroom at home because of its dense texture and steak-like composition.
    That, and bug content is usually low, due to the cold.
    Definitely worth a try!

  • @perandaplants7483
    @perandaplants7483 7 лет назад +2

    Hello Adam, I concur with Daniel Vondrak below. Resinous polypore makes a decent 'beef broth' substitute when slow cooked for several hours, as in a crock pot overnight. We have some cooking down right now as we speak.

  • @jzerothree
    @jzerothree 6 лет назад +7

    I've heard resinous polypore called "bacon of the woods" before. When I've eaten it, it's kiiiiiinda meaty tasting, but definitely cooks up just like meat and has a similar aroma when harvesting young tips.

    A friend and I were hunting mushrooms, he found Resinous polypore, and put it in the basket. I searched for an hour trying to learn if it was edible... Finally - I found my answer; We sauteed it up with minimal Worcestershire and soy sauce, along with a bit of garlic, paprika and parsley and butter. It turned out nice... The texture was good. We sauteed it for about 10+ minutes. You should give it a go Adam; You'll like it...

    I have eaten this polypore and find it to be very tasty. I look forward to it's fruiting come fall. Only eat the very tender outer edges. It's a meaty mushroom and cooks up very well (IMO). Thank you for all your intellectual videos!

    • @MarkNowotarski
      @MarkNowotarski 7 лет назад +1

      Jean, I'm with you. Resinous polypore is one of my favorites. If the edge is "soft as my nose", I just let my knife glide through it. Steamed in it's own juices and it's like eating silk.

    Hey Adam! I have indeed eaten the fresh tips of Ischnoderma Resinosum and I found it to be almost like an overdone steak in flavor as well as texture. However, I prefer to harvest them when they are fully mature to be dried and used in tea as one would woth Reishi or any of the other medicinal polypores. They can be medicinal and harmonious addition to homemade beef bone broth. Cheers!

    • @mredman5916

    Hi Adam. I’ve been eating the resinous polypore and cooking as recommended by Alan Bergo. Sauté in butter with a little herb (thyme) until the water is gone. I think they are very tasty as have others who have sampled mine.
