H. erinaceus is a highly prized culinary super fung.

 

The Chinese have long coveted its medicinal properties.

 

The majority of fruit bodies of this species found for sale in the culinary and medicinal market place are from inoculated dowels placed in to appropriate dead wood volumes and harvested.

 

Picking this particular species from the wild is actually a criminal offence.

 

 

Well that'll teach me - I just thought they looked like beansprouts.  I keep telling you David, my level of ignorance knows no bounds !!!  I'll repost on fa-la-la-la-la with some better (and some new ) picks tomorrow if I get the chance.

Just that it's rare, and not recorded on birch or maple. I can't remember which one it was on. 

 

What sort of time of year does it fruit?

wouldn't take just because it's not recorded on a particular host species as gospel Gary. 

Plenty of the frdbi records are listed as purely 'on wood' without stating a specific tree species.

I don't imagine there's any reason why corraloides couldn't colonise the dying/dysfunctional wood volumes of a wider range of tree species than is currently recorded.

 

last time I saw coralloides fruiting was in September
