Bracket fungi at Bogstad Manor

 Bogstad Manor, outside Oslo (Norway) has lovely grounds which are open to the public.
Sheep graze quietly, completely unaware of the huge bracket fungi nesting in the trees.

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.
