This mushroom grows from late August to late autumn.

It mainly grows on oak trees, closer to the roots, although there are exceptions ...

We call it "Liver" or "Mother-in-law's tongue"

(In this photo, you can clearly see the pimpled structure, as in the tongue)

This year, during their growing season, there was little moisture, and they grew quite flat, but if there is enough moisture, they are very wide and fleshy, and can weigh several kilograms!

The amount of vitamin C in this polypore is ten times more than in lemon ...

In cross-section, it resembles liver, meat, and lard, depending on the color and its age.

(That's why we call it liver)

This year I practically did not get to their fruiting, but I still could find something)

This mushroom cannot be confused with any other! So harvest without fear of repercussions! You can fry it without preliminary boiling ...
I wish you a successful hunt and Happy #fungifriday!

Are these tart tasting? I've never been able to find a fresh enough one to harvest.

This mushroom, very specific in taste, has a pronounced sour taste ...
Therefore, if you like lemon in your dishes, then this mushroom will also suit your taste)

Beautiful photographs, I would be afraid to eat those mushrooms, of course I do not know about the subject but if I love the flavors, I have prepared a few times but only those that I buy in supermarkets, never harvested like this and taken with my hands. How great to enjoy nature.
