Is he friend or foe?

#FungiFriday fun Challenge hosted by @EwkaW

Today is Friday. We go on a forest walk again. The weather is not at all against our promenade. The trees in this part of the forest are mostly deciduous. And the forest itself does not look very healthy. There was a forest fire here many years ago. Burned forests do not live long.

Сегодня пятница. Мы снова идем гулять по лесу. Погода совсем не против нашей прогулки. Деревья в этой части леса в основном лиственные. Да и сам лес выглядит не очень здоровым. Много лет назад здесь случился лесной пожар. Сожженные леса долго не живут- на березах много трутовиков. Гриб считается паразитом, но я думаю, что он также является помощником. За несколько лет этот гриб может практически полностью разрушить погибший ствол дерева. Если природе не мешать, она сама справится со здоровьем леса, для этого у нее есть свои инструменты. Гриб размножается спорами, проникающими в дерево через трещины и ожоги.

There are a lot of tinder fungi on birches.The fungus is considered a parasite, but I think it is also a helper. For several years, this mushroom is able to almost completely destroy the old tree trunk. If nature is not interfered with, it will cope with the health of the forest itself, for this it has its own tools. The fungus reproduces by spores, entering the tree through cracks and burns.

Birch tinder (Piptoporus betulinus)/ Трутови́к берёзовый (Piptoporus betulinus)/

Drawing charcoal is made from this type of mushroom, and polyporenic acid, which has an anti-inflammatory medicinal effect, is also extracted. Often the pulp of the tinder fungus is used in folk medicine to treat various diseases. Various medicinal decoctions and tinctures with the addition of pure alcohol are prepared from young birch tinder fungi.

True tinder (Fomes fomentarius)

Causes white rot, wood tissue becomes brittle and brittle. It is very widespread, in Russia and Europe it is found everywhere on deciduous tree species (birch, aspen, alder, oak, beech and others). Most often appears on dead trees and stumps.

Вызывает белую гниль, древесная ткань становится хрупкой и ломкой. Распространён очень широко, в России и Европе встречается повсеместно на лиственных породах деревьев. Чаще всего появляется на сухостое, погибших деревьях и пнях.

And this is possibly a specimen of the false tinder -fungus Fomitiporia robusta

А это возможно экземпляр ложного трутовика Fomitiporia robusta

This type of tinder fungus is not known to me, perhaps it is
Fox polypore (Inonotus rheades)


Этот вид трутовика мне не известен, возможно, он и есть
Inonotus rheades (Лисий трутовик)

Особенно осторожным! Они могут стать захватчиками, а не помощниками)

Next time I go to the birch forest I'll look for these to make a tincture.
