Tree Mushrooms Collection

There is not much going on during February and March here, but it doesn't mean you can't find mushrooms in the forest. The difference lies in where you should look for them, start looking on the trees, not on the ground.

Birch polypore - a very common parasite mushroom that grows on Birch trees killing them at a slow pace and then keeps living on the dead tree for a long time. Although it sounds really bad for the trees we as humans can use that mushroom for medicinal purposes, it has been used to strengthen our immune system and It has the following properties: Antiviral, Antibiotic, Anti Tumor, Anti Inflammatory, Antifungal.

The shapes and colors can vary.

Hoof fungus - a widespread mushroom, there are no uses besides using it as a starter for slow-burning fires.

Witch's butter (semi-frozen on the photo) - said to be inedible, but like many other "inedible" mushrooms there were studies in Russia that showed his medical properties.

No idea what those are unfortunately.
