jcinpc:
you aint kidding, They tried it but used alot of honey and mint or lemon. I like it. I wouldnt be suprised it does have an effect on tumor growth and cancers , yet we will never hear of it because that means the gov`t cant make money off of it.
Hillbilly:
I haven't found any here in a long time. It grows at high elevations here on yellow birch, but it's rare. I've tried using it for tinder, but never medicinally. I'll have to keep an eye out for some more.
Jude:
Huh, you learn something new every day. I've seen it plenty in Vermont and New York, and in Alaska as well, so I assume it probably grows anywhere in between you find birches. As far as I know, no fungus that grows off the side of a tree is poisonous. Now the ones growing on the ground are another story, got sick as a dog once from something I thought was a puffball, before I learned that puffballs should always be white in the center. They were tasty though.
jamie:
ground ones i stay away from , too many uh-ohs can happen with em.
Hillbilly:
Jude, there are definitely several fungi that grow on trees that are poisonous, including at least one deadly one. Even some edible ones can be toxic if they're growing on the wrong kind of tree.
