A moss covered tree with roughly 30 birch polypore mushrooms growing out of it. “Pharmacological studies have provided evidence supporting the antibacterial, anti-parasitic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective, and immunomodulating activities of F. betulina preparations.” - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5380686/

The same tree but many more birch polypore mushrooms can now be see by standing close to it and looking up. Ötzi, the iceman scientists recovered from the alps, nearly perfectly preserved, had this mushroom species on him. For 5,300 years evidence shows humans have used this mushroom, carrying it over mountains. It must have been of some use to him, as research shows it is for us.

Fomitopsis betulina or birch polypore mushroom is edible but it tastes like bitter styrofoam.

⚠️PSA ABOUT SCAMMERS

There's been an uptick in impersonators who target users with easily swappable handles (i's for l's, o's for 0's, varying repeated letters, etc)

They will always
1) block the original artist
2) target users who have replied with interest, either thru QRPs, replies, or DMs
