Spores rusty brown or white ? Annual or perennial ? Trama corky and cream, woody and whitish to cream or juicy and pale ocre ?

Hello nb, welcome to the site.

 

I would have thought that this may be a desicated fruit body of Laetiporus sulphureus.

 

Ganoderma carnosum is (I think) is a basal decaying Ganoderma.

 

Have a look at this link............ G. carnosum

this may be a desicated fruit body of Laetiporus sulphureus ...

 

... annual, spores white, trama juicy and sulphur yellow, later crumbly and whitish grey.

looks like an aborted and dessicated laetiporus to me
