BPP... Totally... My favorite. I simmer it for two hours, then, pour it into ice cube trays... two cubes a day keeps my back ache away. Nice video. Your speech is perfect - you should do talk radio. :)

Thanks for sharing about this important medicinal mushroom. Steam them for about 5 minutes over boiling water if they are too dried. Steaming will not only soften them so easier to slice, but also kill bugs, if any.

Great video! Dehydrating my first birch polypore tonight. I appreciate the comments on sustainability as well. Excellent information - thanks for sharing! (from New Brunswick)

I've been powdering my fresh Polypores on a large 'Nutmeg' Grater, before Sun drying... i have been storing the now bone dry, Vit D Rich Grounds in labelled Tupperware (as collect various Polypores from various Medicinal Trees) out of direct Sun light. The Birch Polypore, being more flexible than most , is left to partially dry before Grating and Sun Drying.

Excellent video. Lots videos out there talk about different uses and natural remedies, but they lack the detailed information your videos provide. Keep these videos coming. Great work.
