Conifer Blueing Bracket Taken at Strathclyde Park on 11th December 2020 using Panasonic Lumix LX5 in macro mode. Conifer Blueing Bracket. Species: Order: Family: Postia caesia. Polyporales. Fomitopsidaceae. Habitat: Season: Edibility: Pine wood is the usual habitat, although very occasionally you may also find these brackets on dead hardwoods such as beech or oak, almost invariably a long time after the tree has died and its bark fallen away. Visible throughout the year, but they release their spores in late autumn. Generally considered to be edible. When picking any fungus for consumption, caution should be exercised at all times.
