I mentioned birch polypore, Fomitopsis betulinus, in a different post the other day, and I thought this species deserves a post of its own because it’s a very interesting species particularly from an ethnomycological perspective. I don’t see this species often, but I’ve noticed it more frequently in the last couple years. I think this is because birch trees locally have been very stressed and experiencing dieback lately on account of climate-change related heatwaves and subsequent bronze birch borer infestation. Birch polypore attacks weakened trees and kills them within a few years, meaning the trees in these photos are doomed. 
It’s also a very pretty fungus, in my opinion, with a soft, suede-like upper with fawn dappling and a creamy spore surface. Someone other than me pulled these ones off a tree! I’m really not sure why, because this species doesn’t have any current ethnomycological uses, so maybe they were just curious and wanted to look at it.

This species was one of the fungi carried by “Ötzi the Iceman,” a Chalcolithic man murdered in the Ötztal Alps around 3230 BCE, whose body was found in 1991. 
Ötzi carried a bit of birch polypore on a strap, and researchers think he likely used it to combat a whipworm infection from which he was suffering. Birch polypore used to be used as a dewormer; it is a laxative itself, but would often be combined with even stronger laxative materials. He also was carrying some Fomes fomentarius, tinder fungus, which was, as its common name suggests, usually used as tinder. 
In more recent times, dried birch polypore was used to sharpen knives, giving it its other common name, razor strop fungus. Some folks still use it for this purpose today, and as tinder just like Fomes fomentarius, but right now that’s more of a novelty practice you’ll find in bushcrafting classes than anything else.

Fungus growing freely
Beautiful and purposeful
Multitudes of colors
Each ring represents a stage of
growth
Birch tree,
You'll be known forever
Deep inside in your trunk
the tree rot is healing
We can return to the earth
and the stardust in our bones will
plant seeds
Our yield is unlimited
as we harvest
We can be generous and bountiful
