Don't know where my quote went, but someone called my Chaga mushroom a cow patty, Lol!, I call them bear turds on a tree
. Hard as a rock like wood, not for eating, grind up and use for tea, actually pretty good tastes like a mild green tea no fungal flavors what so ever. I never heard of them before until recently, think I missed out on the deer harvest last yr spending so much time looking up into white birch trees instead of hunting Lol! Know I've seen them many times, many times, just didn't know what they were. But now that I'm looking they are as elusive as sasquatch I guess Lol! Only second one I've found.
