One of the shiniest "mushrooms" you'll ever see is

the Hemlock Varnish Cap polypore.

Edible?

Odd looking fungus....

Edible?

Not really. It's not poisonous, but it's really tough and woody. Some people try and eat the very young ones, but it gets tough early in life.

I wonder if smoking it low & slow would tenderize it more.
