Anyone seen this? It’s on American Beech slabs that weren’t stickered immediately after cutting. Had to use an axe and wedge to get some slabs apart!! It’s a spongy “glue” An ID would be awesome
Thank you!! I looked it up after you told me what it was because I was curious about its characteristics. Apparently, it’s being used to make fake leather, furniture, and other goods. It is a really interesting substance with excellent adhesion qualities. It is also very tough and takes a lot to cut it away from the wood. Awesome science lesson!It's a wood decaying fungi, for sure.
The white is mycelium.

Wow! Makes sense because it seems to like crevices. Must be just the right environment. I’d send you some of mine if you want- no charge. Is it enough there or does it need to be harvested in a specific way?You're welcome!
I buy mycelium to place between rounds of wood stacked like a totem pole to grow edible mushrooms.
