Street trees

I do believe you met that nice David chap Tobias, you know, the kinda guy that gives up a good portion of his day to show around a weary traveller

 

Good job the other one didn't turn up, he would of left you in limbo somewhere in the dark depths of a north london woodland

Not wanting to be defeated by a mere mushroom I had another go at it today, this time though my camera seemed to get the better of me so sorry for the slight lack of focus

definately ganoderma - the real giveaway is the texture and colour - the ganoderma is 'cocoa brown' on the inside, the phellinus more of a 'buff brown'. you wouldn't cut into a phellinus f/b that easily either - it really is as hard as hell. which ganoderma? adspersum / applanatum - without looking through a microscope is a bit of a guess - but being local and looking at the form/host/location I would guess adspersum - but would still put a ? next to it.
