at least ten years ago scientists found an underground fungus west of chicago * they moved a few miles east and again took DNA samples * they were identical * of course i have no references * 184.74.68.171 ( talk)grumpy
My recent edit calling a polypore a mushroom was reverted with the edit summary "It isn't a type of mushroom- a polypore and a mushroom are both examples of fruit bodies, but they are of different structures."
Well, okay, but I got that mushroom claim by clicking on polypore and reading its opening sentences: "Polypores are a group of tough, leathery poroid mushrooms similar to boletes, but typically lacking a distinct stalk. The technical distinction between the two types of mushrooms is that polypores do not have the spore-bearing tissue continuous along the entire underside of the mushroom." So does that need to be changed?
Also, the edit summary statement that "a polypore and a mushroom are both examples of fruit bodies" seems to conflict with the statement in sentence 2 of this article that "the species produces brown, woody fruit bodies" -- so is a polypore a fruit body, or does it produce them?

Danaman5 ( talk · contribs) very kindly translated the last paragraph of the article for me. It's blockquoted below, but the bold-type face are words of which he is unsure. J Milburn ( talk) 07:43, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Steroidal chemical compounds are an important constituent part of cellular membranes; they can directly influence the mobility of the membrane, and play a part in cellular membranes’ physiological function of distinguishing and regulating cells. (Parks & Casey 1995; Bloch 1992; Weete 1989) Therefore, steroidal chemical compounds demonstrate excellent pharmacological activity. For example, ergosterol and hydrogenated ergosterol have a clear inhibiting effect on MCF-7 tumor cell precursors (Ding et. al. 2009); ergosterol-7; 22-alkene, 3(Beta)-Alcohol also shows clear activity against BEL-7402 and MGC-803 tumor cell precursors (Lu Yi and Weng Xinchu 2007); ergosterol-7, 22-diene-3-ketone has excellent anti-inflammatory activity (Deng Zhipeng 2004). In addition, steroidal components are very important in taxology. Generally, speaking, cholesterol is the main steroidal component of relatively primitive fungoid groups, and ergosterol is the main steroidal component of relatively advanced fungoid groups (Weete 1989). This research result shows that Fomitiporia ellipsoidea fruiting bodies contain abundant and diverse steroidal chemical compounds, indicating that this fungus may have relatively strong pharmacological activity. Therefore, there is a need to carry out deeper research on the activity of the steroidal chemical compounds or steroidal ramifications discussed in this paper, as well as on other mid-level components, and so on.
I have added some details from this paragraph. It's not something I can pretend to know about, but I don't think I've made any mistakes. J Milburn ( talk) 08:04, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
The accompanying photograph looks like the fungus is about six inches long on the underside of a tree trunk; it doesn't look like a 427 inch fruiting body as the caption indicates. Is this the wrong photo? Gruhl ( talk) 13:36, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Oh, I thought that was just exposed wood, that the bark had come off. Thanks. Gruhl ( talk) 20:48, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
The version by J Milburn is not optimum. Regardless of how something "reads" (which is entirely subjective) "..a specimen of which.." in general English discourse means "any specimen", while "..one specimen of which.." without further qualification means "one particular specimen", which is the meaning being sought. Meaning is paramount: therefore, I am reverting to my version. Harfarhs ( talk) 14:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
