Using the book in the library, let's see
options I've found:
Ling Chih - 460
Mustard-yellow Polypore - 475 (Phellinus gilvus)
Conifer-base Polypore - 465 (Heterobasidion annosum)




of the options, the conifer-base Polypore seems to be the most likely. I'm having trouble being certain though. I'm not positive.

  1. We grew mushrooms a few years ago, and decided that it was a lot less trouble to buy them. And considering how many mushrooms we got, it was cheaper too. But it was still fun to harvest "our own" mushrooms.
