Mahaut Guillaume - Lab 5 journal entry

I chose to write about the Polyporus squamosus species of fungus, also referred to as the Dryad’s Saddle.
It is an edible mushroom that grows on hardwood trees. Its fruiting bodies toughen through time so it can be used as a spice during its early, 'tenderer' stage. The Polyporus squamosus mushroom could also be used for its medicinal properties such as antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory or antioxidative activities.
