Polyporaceae
The Basidiomycota Family
Plantae
Polyporaceae are a family of Bracket fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota. The flesh of their fruiting bodies varies from soft (as in the case of the Dryad\'s Saddle illustrated) to very tough. Most members of this family have their hymenium (fertile layer) in vertical pores on the underside of the caps, but some of them have gills (e.g. Panus) or gill-like structures (such as Daedaleopsis, whose elongated pores form a corky labyrinth). Many species are brackets, but others have a definite stipe - for example: Polyporus badius.

Most of these fungi have white spore powder but members of the genus Abundisporus have coloured spores and produce yellowish spore prints. Cystidia are absent.

Shelf Mushroom
  Shelf Mushroom September 11, 2010
Trametes versicolor is saprotrophic, meaning it feeds off of decomposing organic matter. For obvious reasons, in the United States it is commonly referred to as Turkey Tail. It is considered to be medicinal, used in immunoadjuvant therapy for cancer in China, Japan and Europe. According to mycologist Paul Stamets it also has bioremediation potential. This means it has the potential to absorb toxic contaminants found in the natural environment and return ecosystems to their natural state. The imm Shelf Mushroom
