  Neat, I hadn’t heard that term before. I’ll have to read more about them.

  On a convenient note, the wiki for polypores had a pic of the orange “mushroom” I had found.

  All conks are mushrooms.

  A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source.

    Thank you for clarifying. That was my takeaway from reading the polypores Wikipedia article.

    Conks are all mushrooms, but not all mushrooms are conks.
