Bracket fungus. Chinatown, NYC.

Bracket fungi in a Chinese pharmacy in Chinatown, New York City.


The Lingzhi mushroom has been used in Chinese medicine for over 2000 years.
Bitter in taste but supposed to promote longevity and good health.  
These were sizable, but not as huge as the gigantic find in China last year.
