Polyporaceae, a family of Fungi #photography #shorts #macro #viral #nature #mushroom #fungi #beauty

Polyporaceae is a family of fungi so named because their fertile surface takes the form of a layer of tubes, the mouths of which can be seen as 'pores' underneath the cap or shelf of the fungus. This family of fungi was named and described in 1838 by Elias Magnus, although August Corda beat him to the publication of this name.

Toxicity
Tender nesting polypore (Hapalopilus nidulans) in the Polyporaceae family contains high concentrations of compound polyporic acid, which is a neurotoxin. In a reported case of poisoning in 1992, a German family suffered from nausea, dyskinesia, visual disturbances, and liver and kidney failure after eating tender nesting polypores. These symptoms appear within about 12 hours after consumption. Other species in the Polyporaceae family may also be toxic, so when you find these mushrooms, don't collect or eat them. If you experience discomfort after ingesting them, seek medical help as soon as possible.
