[...] opeten en derhalve niet als eetbaar beschouwd worden. Pech, maar niet getreurd, want er worden antivirale en antitumorale werkingen vermoed in dit zwammetje, en dat is toch ook belangrijk, schijnt. Soit, ik vind ze gewoon mooi, [...]

In preparation. There's enough info on either of those species to fill a separate website

Sorry, I don't have any information on suppliers (and I doubt they exist for this species).

Yeah, my list is over 800 species long! The ones you've listed I'm working on, but as you might imagine, the body of research and published literature on each is so immense that it will take some time to synthesize it and figure out how to present it. Thanks for the comments!

Comment on Fistulina hepatica by Robert

Polyporus, like Fistulina, is a genus, and they are in the Polyporaceae and Fistulinaceae families, respectively. The Polyporaceae family is in the order Polyporales, while the Fistulinaceae are in the Agaricales order. Check out the Index Fungorum listing for Fistulina to confirm (http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/genusrecord.asp?RecordID=17591) . Isn't taxonomy fun?

Fomitopsis Pinicola is also a powerful one in this family. The mission/content of your site is fantastic, and you seem to missing a few of the major ones that I've been working with- maitake, cordyceps, chaga, reishi, lion's mane, and Turkey Tail, to name a few. Please add these to your list if you can find time to research them. I'd love to use your site as a reference for ALL my favorite mushrooms. Regardless, GREAT work. Fantastic resource.

Where may I purchase any of these staghorn mushrooms? Reason being I have MS, which is an autoimmune disease. And have been told that this particular mushroom may slow its advance, which I would like to try. Thank You

My father who had developed a cancer of his bladder, HAVE DRANK PIPTOPORUS BETULINUS IN POWDER FORM WHICH HE STEEPED IN HOT, BOILING WATER AND CONSUMMED IT INSTEAD OF COFFE OR TEA EVERY DAY. AFTER 3 MONTHS HIS MEDICAL EXAMINATION PROVED, THAT HIS BLADDER HAD BEEN IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION, THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE, THAT IS AT THE ORIGINAL EXAM IN WHICH THE UROLOGIST DIAGNOSED THE MALIGNANCY GROWTH. MY FATHER HAD CONTINUED THIS TREATMENT (WHICH HE DID NOT REVEALED TO THE DOCTOR)WHICH HAD LEAD TO BETTER RESULTS AT EACH FOLLOWING medical EXAMINATIONS, UNTILL HIS BLADDER HAD CLEARED FROM THE MALIGNANCY GROWTH COMPLETELY. MY DAD PASSED AWAY TEN YEARS LATER FOR UNRELATED CAUSES.
NOW MY BROTHER HAS MYELOMA FO 7 YEARS AND NOW IT IS IN ITS FINAL STAGE. DO YOU RECOMENT THIS TREATMENT FOR HIS ILLNESS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. CHRISTINA

I really do not believe Fistulina is in the Agaricales… should be Polypourus
