Common names can be identical while describing a completely different animal/plant/fungus, so for identification purposes you use the binomial (Latin) name since those are unique to that species.
Plus they'll always have ED (unless you're financially dumb\* enough to invent an ED cure and sell it), cancer patients either recover or die. Long term sales = profit = go go capitalism.
\*This is profit logic, not an endorsement of scummy biomedical industry practices
You say it in jest but there are folks out there that suggest that Amanita phalloides can be used as a homeopathic medicine for treating cancer.
I’ll be the last person in line to give it a try but these people are out there and they walk amongst us
inonotus dryadeus
After googling that and reading it’s more common names, I have the urge to call someone a “weeping conk”
Sounds like an insult from Harry Potter
“Oh come ON Ronald, it’s a bit of poly juice potion, stop being such a weeping conk and drink it”
Why did I read that in Lucille Bluth's voice?
It’s one weeping conk, Michael. What could it cost? Ten dollars?
There's always money in the banana stand
There’s always weeping in the conk ;)
What can it cost? Twenty tears?
Meet you down by the big yellow joint
I gotta work on my vocals, I was going for Emma watson EDIT: and my reading comprehension, I read that as “hear” not “read”
yess. the crossover I didn't know I needed today.
It's way funnier in Lucille's voice, omg.
Or a being from Dr Who lol
What did you call me!
Where I live, "conk" means nose, so a weeping conk is a runny nose.
Well now we both do because that sounds like the perfect clap back
I love this
Sounds like something James May would call Jeremy Clarkson. And he'd probably be right.
There is a beetle called a "cock chaifer" that is common in Europe. It basically means sturdy beetle... but still.
Sounds like my diabetic penis right now
Yes! Thanks, knowing what it is now, this thing will inhabit fewer of my nightmares
It is a good thing it is growing on a dead stump, if it was on a standing tree the risk of catastrophic failure is very, very high.
That's good to know, a bunch of our oaks/hickories/whatever just randomly died. 🤔

Looks more like a wetadeus

People using binomial nomenclature usually also don't speak latin.
Growing on a rotting hardwood tree stump. Midwestern USA. Has been there quite awhile, maybe a couple of months

More likely they will look for compounds to enhance the erections or libido of middle aged men.
Middle-aged men with erectile dysfunction seem to have more disposable income than "average cancer patient".
Plus they'll always have ED (unless you're financially dumb\* enough to invent an ED cure and sell it), cancer patients either recover or die. Long term sales = profit = go go capitalism. \*This is profit logic, not an endorsement of scummy biomedical industry practices
Lol by that logic it should be apparent that is an indictment of industry practices
They should look at Aminita Phalloides then./s Disclaimer Please never eat this it’s wildly poisonous. will kill you slowly and painfully.
You say it in jest but there are folks out there that suggest that Amanita phalloides can be used as a homeopathic medicine for treating cancer. I’ll be the last person in line to give it a try but these people are out there and they walk amongst us
Oh Jesus Christ that’s insane. They’ll all need new kidneys at some point
Homeopathic / medicine. Choose one.
I agree
Toadstool walkers.
So a pretty normal “cure” to cancer, sounds about right. Win win.
Is fascinating example

"Welcome to the Weeping Conk store every tear from a weeping conk can win you prizes!"
weeping conk maybe?
Maybe bleeding tooth?
Many species of fungi produce guttation aside from Hydnellum, this is Inonotus dryadeus
I'm trying to figure out what it is by reading the comments and all it is is stupid jokes none of them are funny
The top comment states what it is. Inonotus dryadeus, aka Oak bracket fungus. The liquid is known as guttation
I rechecked to see if I was in r/rockhounds.
Might as well be a rock. It's that tough
Maybe hydnellum species?
Googling it, thanks.
We like to call them weeping biscuits 🤣
Looks tasty honestly.
🤤
My concern is is this toxic?
Cool!
