Nah, turkey tails mostly. I did see some hemlock reishis while I was out, though.

Tony, It is a very nice display...
what is the name of the species in the pot labeled #12...I have something like that growing in my woods. The leaves are interesting(reddish and some marking) and the flowers(along a thin stem) are tiny...it dies back to the ground in summer and then it emerges in the fall....

That's Tipularia discolor.

Thank you.
Not reishi (Ganoderma tsugae and G. curtisii, mostly, in U.S.). Looks like turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) and maybe Oxyporus populinus, the mossy maple polypore. Possibly another Trametes such as T. gibbosa but I don’t think so.
Reishi are not rare, btw. One of the most abundant polypores in the world. It’s widely cultivated in Asia and increasingly here in North America too.
I love the imaginative arrangements. Surprised to see the Tipularia; guessing those are dug up? Never seen anyone grow and and skeptical about its cultivatibility.
Ditto the Goodyeara repens. Is that a longterm cultivated specimen or poached?

I will vouch for the legitimacy of those plants being 100% captive produced. Tony has really gone out of his way to source plants and propagate them now into multiple generations.
