https://foragerchef.com/berkeleys-polypore-bondarzewia-berkeleyi/ Berkeley's polypore is a gorgeous mushroom rosette that appears on dead and dying hardwood trees. In shape and form it resembles other polypores like chicken of the woods, hen of the woods, and black staining polypores. It's most comparable to the black staining polypore, and gets extremely tough with age. Young ones as I demonstrate cooking in this video can be great though. In the video I go over how I've been processing and cooking them.
