yea edible ?

Possibly, but I wouldn't.

I'd need to see a lot more detail of the spore plate and tissue to ID for sure.

Shelf mushrooms that grow on trees are almost always edible. It'a built into my survival plan because of how reliable it is.

It's the Almost, that is the problem.

Mycologists often can't identify edible versus non-edible fungi visually. I'm a casual fan. Best to assume it's dangerous until you can Confirm it's edible

All mushrooms are edible at least once

More info please...

Awhile back,
I had high phosphate and tried using lanthanum chloride. Some research but not a ton.

Most people posted positive effects in their articles and I jumped into using the product.

Long story short I dosed into the sump (not the sock)

The lanthanum must have bound to gills of my first blue hippo causing it to die.

My clown was barely breathing and I moved to a QT tank with new water and an air stone. It recovered in 3-4 days in the other tank.

For Frank…

Saw some of this today. Wanted it back but decided best to wait until We are ready . Thats a gorgeous piece.

Frag tank operational! All the water levels worked out first try! Just turn and burn!

why scrub algae? Just add tanks!

No need to scrub, you can connect my tank to fix your high nutrients
