Since I made a claim to expert status, too bad I didn’t spell it correctly (Polyporus). If it’s the one I think it is, you’ll find it to be woody and tasteless. Some of these are wonderful, including Laetiporus sulphureus (a bright yellow to orange).

I don’t encourage people to eat mushrooms without a positive identification. If you are unfamiliar with a fungus, you should key it down using a reliable guide. My favorite is still the series by Alexander Smith and his daughter N.S. Weber. There are no “rules” for safe mushrooms.

A Polyphorus (wood-rotting fungus that doesn’t attack living tissue).

Yes- I’m a plant pathologist and mycologist.
