Bracket Fungi
The Bracket Fungi, also called Shelf Fungi, are most commonly found on trees, and produce a shelf-like appearance. Bracket Fungi are known as polypores due to their hard or leathery texture, and because they often lack a stem and just grow straight out of the wood, also because they have pores lined with spore reproducing cells called Basidium. Most Bracket Fungi are non edible and only a few types can be eaten. They also have been used in folk medicine for centuries, and have been used in teas.
