One of the fungal species that I observe is Trichaptum biforme (Genus Trichaptum). It is characterized by its thin and leathery fruit bodies, shelf-like appearance, and they often cover large areas of dead trees. Its fruiting season is spring to fall. Trichaptum biforme often appears as white pocket rot of hardwoods, and is one of the most common decay fungi in North America. It is not edible by human.
