Foraging for Lingzhi (Chinese) or Reishi in Thailand

It is the height of mushroom (kep in Thai) hunting season here in Northern Thailand. Just like in the Huachuca mountains back home in Arizona, the rainy season is always the best time to hunt “shrooms”. I took a break from hunting the edible ones to look for Lingzhi (Chinese) or Reishi (Japanese) as we call it in the USA “experts” call this local species Ganoderma lucidum. I have been finding quite a few in the higher elevations in and around the pine forests.

Check out the wikipedia link above for information if interested. I have attached a few pics of today’s score for your viewing enjoyment. I only pick the small fresh ones for my own use.
