Cerioporus Leptocephalus
You know the old adage, “treat me like a mushroom”? Well, not all mushrooms like the dark and or… um, fertilizer. The most common question for this species is, “Is Cerioporus Leptocephalus edible?” Cerioporus Leptocephalus, commonly known as blackfoot polypore, is an inedible species of mushroom in the genus Cerioporus. It usually grows on the branches of broad-leaved trees. The cap is convex when young, and soon flattens out into a mostly irregular shape. It is red-brown when young, yellowish grey when old and usually about 2–5 cm in diameter. The pores are white, turning slightly brown when bruised, and the spores are white. The stem is light yellowish brown often with a black base.
