The beef steak mushroom (Fistulina hepatica) is a rather unique-looking mushroom appearing in the fall on oak trees or oak tree remains. As its name suggests, it resembles a piece of steak, including a blood-like juice coming from it when cut. The structure of this mushroom is also rather meat-like, which inspired us to make jerky out of it.
