i want to know why people thumbs down this video. i don’t get it. this guy is as knowledgeable, clear and thorough as it gets. videos like these simply can’t be done better than this
You honestly are the best at explaining mushrooms. I've posted countless photos online in forums and people are really just guessing. You give very descriptive features that allow me to confidently identify. Thanks again.
I have been drinking 2 ounces of birch polypore tea daily since october 2018... I feel SO much better with this... I can't say enough about this mushroom.
@@vishyswa Birch Polypore Tea Find the mushroom. slice mushrooms like steak fries. Dry them. (I use my dehydrator) Once dried... add one ounce of dried mushrooms to quart of water, in a quart sauce pan. Simmer for two hours. Let cool. Squeeze them out after simmering to extract the best medicinal tea from the mushroom. Strain the tea into a coffee filter, and pour into ice [C]ube trays. Freeze. Store the unfrozen 'broth' or 'tea' in the fridge and keep making ice [C]ubes... do not let the 'tea/broth' in the fridge for longer than a week. Add one [C]ube to coffee or your drink first thing in the morning. Add one [C]ube to your afternoon, or evening drink. You only need two [C]ubes a day. Keep using the [C]ubes, your body will thank you for it. It takes approx one week before you will feel better. 🙂
I’ve been watching a bunch of videos lately on medicinal properties of various plants, especially of the birch tree. I was out near the forest surrounding my house last week and found a dead tree with all kinds of cool mushrooms studding it and wondered what it was. Turns out it is this one - the birch polypore. I just went outside in the rain to go check it out. So cool! I think they are too old to harvest but I’ll go out and check for new growth later in the year. I feel so smart now that I can identify something new.
I'm a member of The Florida Native Plant Society and can rattle off a fair amount of facts relating to plants, but NOTHING compared to you. You, my friend, are impressive as hell! Would love to have a friend like you to walk around the woods with. I could listen to you all day. Great channel!
Listened to this just last night, and found several on a white birch while walking this morning. I think I'll just stick to calling it the birch polypore, but awed by how important it must have been for it to be carried by our ancestors. So many possibilities it seems to hold. Thank you. The I learn the more I notice. By the way the scene behind you in this is lovely.
Wow, I don't know how you can actually pronounce those words let alone remember them like that, you are a wealth of information Adam, well done again, glad to see you have followers like Lonnie and Survival Lilly
In Sussex UK, the Birch Polypore is known as Razor Strop backet fungus. Decotion teas/tinctures were historically where made from it for all manner of aliments to reduce swelling/inflammation, intestinal problems (including parasites) and for viral infections like chicken pox/herpes. My own Nan used to do this and to burn it and make an antiseptic salve from the ash. It was rumoured to have mild hallucinogenic properties- so growing up, teens used to smoke it! Historically it was smoked by the charcoal burners in Sussex used it to improve the favour of tobacco. It seemed to smell a little bit like marmalade/citrus not what you would expect from a fungus.
'the medicine we need is literally" at our feet. So it is that this property I moved to, has turkey tail growing all over it and what I've just ID'd, yellow reishi mushroom.
I've used this specific shroom as a plaster multiple times, it's absorbent so it can stick to open wounds if you use thin strips and as mentioned it's antibacterial and antimicrobial so it protects against infection. I have made tea with this fungus, I also used wood sorrel, cinnamon and honey which resulted in a tolerable beverage (I don't like normal/common tea either to be honest).
2:04 It's not that mushrooms did anything to deserve so many name changes, it's that fungi have been so enigmatic, taxonomists have had a really hard time trying to classify them and keep changing things as they learn more about fungi.
You have a great channel here. Sadly, interest in the wild plants and their uses is just not that popular yet. Hopefully that will change in the future. Good luck with your channel and i hope it grows well for you.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival yes there are a lot of uses for these and I'm a prepper and most of my friends get this channel shoved down their throats through Facebook!!! lmao!
Far North Bushcraft And Survival What's up Lonnie , good to see you following Adam too. I've been following your TH-cam channel for a while now. It's great !! Hope you and Connie have a great Holiday Season. Peace
Thanks for all the great videos. About birch polypore - you didn't mention white or paper birch - I harvested a few of what look exactly like these polypore mushrooms from white birch trees at Deer Lakes Park (Allegheny County). I assume these would have the same benefits as ones found on yellow birch.
I'm treating my mom's stage 4 adenocarcinoma with Birch Polypore , Resinous Polypore, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Maitake, Shitake, Lion's Mane, Reishi, and stamets 7, and Host Defense My Community, in combination with chemo immunotherapy.
Great detailed video! Thorough, interesting and very educational! Like how you reference studies...so neat how medical this mushroom is. Thank you for sharing!
Found a dead standing birch this weekend in south eastern Michigan filled with Birch Polypore. It was prolific! This was standing in a high traffic area so very little of it was reachable, but there was a recent storm and there was a freshly fallen log on the ground with an 8 inch mushrooms I was able to take home with me. Thanks so much for this video. It confirms I definitely identified this correctly in the field. Thank you.
I'm watching this is 2023, and it's still fabulous information. I've used birch polypore to keep my fires going, but it's exciting to learn it's medicinal, like many fungi. Do you make and sell medicine? I can't imagine a more reputable source. You made this seven years ago; I hope you are so incredibly comfortable financially from these by now. Every video you've made is invaluable knowledge presented with infectious enthusiasm and positive attitude. I'm so grateful you made them.
I have officially watched all of your mushroom videos. You are an incredible teacher and inspirational in everyone’s mushroom journey. Very easy to watch and keep the audiences attention.
From Western PA, too I found a pretty large outbreak of Birch Polypore about 10 days ago. Been back a couple times to harvest it. 80 grams dried so far! What a treasure!!

Hi Adam. Thanks for your wonderful and super informative videos I’m a fan. I found this mushroom last Thursday and brought it home. How do I prepare it and eat it please?
Great job Adam. Your videos have me viewing nature on a different level. I saw Devil's Tooth and Turkey Tail for the first time in my yard recently. Mushrooms have always blended into part of the scenery, but now they seem to be popping up everywhere.
Thank you, just had a friend who got shot with a little 25 caliber pistol. It didn't hit no veins or arteries, so we just shoved some birch polypore in the wound. We will continue to update for the next 3 weeks. Time of incident: Jun, 14, 2020. 4:00pm - 4:45pm. Area affected:left upper calf. Small bits of fabric where taken with the projectile, he still had to go to the hospital. The wound did heal, but an Abscess formed in the muscle week's later, the fungi did its job. I was the uneducated one.
Great! Of course, not great that your friends got shot, but wonderful that you used what was on hand. Where we live, we use plantain leaves instead of bandages for minor cuts and scrapes. Stops the bleeding and protects the wound. Sticks itself in place.
I have had big time pain in my thyroid (hypo thyroid) for 2 weeks and yesterday I desided that I would trye this mushroom, they grow nearby so i was easy to get some. Last evning I drank some tea and this morning the throat was better so I drank some more. Now it is about 24 hours later and I have no pain. I will gather more and drink this when needed. Is there some any recomendations on how long time or how much one can use this mushroom ? Thank you for this great channel. / Maria in Sweden
I like your content! I just recently got interested in polypores and I'm starting to learn about them. But I've just scratched the surface! Lots to learn about these mushrooms!
I stumbled across the birch tree by the little two inch hanging thin corn cob looking fruits here entering winter in Oregon, and what like to be tiny pine cones. Researched and found out it's a very edible tree. And then your video came up emmediately after involving the birch tree. Hmm AI? Anyway it was my first identification of a birch tree and I gathered a handful of it's fruit to eat. Excellent video!
Question:What is the best method to use when extracting the medicinal properties of the birch polypore? alcohol decoction hot water decoction or a dual decoction? Thank you, and I appreciate your videos very very much.
Michael, my preferred method of extraction for most medicinal mushrooms is the dual extraction. It seems that the most medicine (at least for personal consumption in the home setting) can be extracted this way. Also, the mushroom is utilized to its fullest, and essentially no parts are wasted. For the birch polypore, then, I'd recommend the dual extraction.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. I FOUND SOME THIS MORNING BY CHANCE ON A DEAD STANDING BIRCH TREE. TOOK IT HOME AND STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON IT. THAT HOW I FOUND YOUR PAGE. INCREDABLE WORLD WE LIVE OVER LOOKED BY THE AVERAGE PERSON. CHEERS
I've been using birch polypore tincture for a while. It's chalked full of beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and Betulinic acid. It gets the acid from the Birch wood. It is technically the first known medicine.
I enjoy your channel a lot Adam, thank you. We all should be far more aware of the natural medicines readily available in Nature. Youre doing a great job popularising these gifts and a more Nature oriented lifestyle
My kids and I were out walking on our land, I came across a fallen white/Paperbirch and looked up the fungus brought me to your channel, I’m going back to grab some😎
Fantastic video. Just started getting into mushroom foraging and medicinal medicine properly. Yours is the channel i come to for learning... when im not out learning in the woods hehe.
Great video, very informal. Thank you for knowledge. I love using mushrooms for health benefits and being from New England i love chaga mushroom but these are a lot easier to find then chaga.
Great video Adam! As others have commented, I’m interested in your technique in making tea and a tincture from birch polypore. Also usage, how often to drink as tea etc.
awesome video, thanks for sharing more specific information on the potentially beneficial chemical compounds , in a easily digestible manner. I've sliced this one up for tea a few times ... if only it tasted as good as chaga! Shaved dry pieces make great tinder though
Well said - if only it tasted as good as chaga! I've put this in soups, and if you're not careful, the flavor can be quite intense. Thanks for watching and commenting!

For the birch polypore, then, I'd recommend the dual extraction.
Learn Your Land
Good day. Can you please explain dual extraction process. Thanks.
@@gogo311 no it won’t- research
@@LearnYourLand do you have a video on the dual extraction process?
Hey Adam, GREAT information....a few years old now, but really cool
Love all of the great information you share thank you I'm picking today lucky for me I can harvest on my own property
I see a horse hoof shape
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. I FOUND SOME THIS MORNING BY CHANCE ON A DEAD STANDING BIRCH TREE. TOOK IT HOME AND STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON IT.
THAT HOW I FOUND YOUR PAGE.
INCREDABLE WORLD WE LIVE OVER LOOKED BY THE AVERAGE PERSON.
CHEERS
Well done on another very interesting video. Made me smile when you said it tastes like medicine. I might actually try it one day. 😁
Can older birch polypore have a black outer layer on the spore tubes?
Great video, the approach is so clean and pure. Right to the info.
Thank you so much!! SUBBED!!
How do you use it? Should I make tea or cook it in butter?
I've been using birch polypore tincture for a while. It's chalked full of beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and Betulinic acid. It gets the acid from the Birch wood. It is technically the first known medicine.
Thanks Adam, i got one for myself month ago but didn't know what is it. Now I know thank you.
Great! Glad you found this video useful.
@@LearnYourLand know this IS "old" now~but you really DO pay attention to what your "followers" comments are+
Be Well my FRIEND✌🏽
Awesome video Adam, amazing really..
This vid helped me identify birch polypor! Thank you for all you do!
Sometimes I see people share photos of this mushroom on trees other than birch. Is that a different mushroom or can they grow on other trees?
Great video! You have shared so much information. Thank you.
do you have a video about white cheese polypore and its medicinal properties?
i found one today but got to it too late to harvest :( but im excited to have this knowledge now so i can look for it when it’s in season! thank you!
I enjoy your channel a lot Adam, thank you. We all should be far more aware of the natural medicines readily available in Nature. Youre doing a great job popularising these gifts and a more Nature oriented lifestyle
Thanks for watching!
Very nice presentation
My kids and I were out walking on our land, I came across a fallen white/Paperbirch and looked up the fungus brought me to your channel, I’m going back to grab some😎
Your knowledge makes me feel you could be one of those scholars of the plant science.
Fantastic video. Just started getting into mushroom foraging and medicinal medicine properly.
Yours is the channel i come to for learning... when im not out learning in the woods hehe.
Great video, very informal. Thank you for knowledge. I love using mushrooms for health benefits and being from New England i love chaga mushroom but these are a lot easier to find then chaga.
Great vid. Also, another identifying feature is that it's a bit fluffy/velvety to the touch on the top of the cap.
Great video & love your Channel!!
A true inspiration and it works well for me. Tincture or cream..it works on anything.
Great video Adam!
As others have commented, I’m interested in your technique in making tea and a tincture from birch polypore. Also usage, how often to drink as tea etc.
Adam God bless you for your teaching and thank you for all of it.
AWESOME info, thank you!
I keep finding old specimens that are really hard. I wonder if I can still get any medicinal use from those?
awesome video, thanks for sharing more specific information on the potentially beneficial chemical compounds , in a easily digestible manner. I've sliced this one up for tea a few times ... if only it tasted as good as chaga! Shaved dry pieces make great tinder though
Well said - if only it tasted as good as chaga! I've put this in soups, and if you're not careful, the flavor can be quite intense. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wonderful info.. in these times we can sure use all the antiviral natural meds we can find. Chaga and this and turkey tail tea for me this winter!!
