Everything about Fistulina Hepatica totally explained
The
beefsteak fungus (
Fistulina hepatica) is an unusual
agaric bracket fungus that's most commonly seen in
Britain, but can be found in
North America,
Australia, and the rest of
Europe. It is sometimes called the
beefsteak polypore or the
ox tongue. As its name suggests, it looks remarkably similar to a slab of raw meat. It has been used as a meat substitute in the past, and can still be found in some
French markets. It has a sour, slightly acidic taste.
The shape resembles a large tongue, and it's rough-surfaced with a reddish-brown colour. The
spores are released from minute pores on the creamy-white underside of the fruit body. A younger beefsteak fungus is a pinkish-red colour, and it darkens with age. It bleeds a dull red juice when cut, and the cut flesh further resembles meat.
The species is fairly common, and can often be found on
oaks and
sweet chestnut, from August to the end of
Autumn, on either living or dead wood. In
Australia, they can be found growing from wounds on
Eucalyptus trees.
