Berkeley's Polypore is a large, shelf-like mushroom that typically grows in clusters at the base of oak and other hardwood trees. Native to North America, it forms massive, rosette-like structures that can span up to two feet across, making it one of the largest polypores around. The mushroom’s white to cream-colored flesh is tender and edible when young, developing a woody texture as it matures. This unique polypore is not only visually impressive but also offers an interesting taste and texture for culinary use.

Berkeley’s Polypore grows in large, layered clusters that can weigh several pounds, making it a spectacular addition to any mushroom garden or forested area. Its distinctive, thick, and rosette-like structure adds a beautiful natural sculpture to your growing space.

When harvested young, Berkeley's Polypore has a mild flavor with a texture that makes it an excellent meat substitute in vegetarian dishes. Its large, thick flesh can be sliced into “steaks” or chopped for stir-fries, adding both substance and flavor to a variety of recipes.
