Lab 5 Journal Entry

One of the mushrooms that my group and I found was called the Blue Cheese Polypore. It's scientific name is the Cyanosporus causius or the Postia. The Blue Cheese Polypore can be found it both Europe and North American, although in different spots depending on the continent. The North American Blue Cheese Polypore can be found on standing or fallen trunks or decaying branches of trees. This fungi is not edible and has a fragrant odor. These mushrooms don't have really any explicit function for humans, they mostly function in order to decompose dead trees and branches. The Blue Cheese Polymore is lightly blue or white colored and was discovered for the first time in 1794.
