Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Just looks like one of the more common Ganoderma species to me Darrin.

 

 

 

Perhaps G. australe.

 

 

 

Did you take a wedge too look at the flesh and tube layer?

Nice, the Amanitas are a very handsome bunch. Here, odd for this time of year, is an oyster just spotted in my garden. [ATTACH]221026[/ATTACH]

I chopped up the stems from a wild oyster I found fruiting last autumn /winter (around Oct/Nov) and poked a little into 10mm holes drilled into a couple of fresh logs (cherry plum, if memory serves me well). I thought I'd be lucky if it worked at all, and certainly didn't expect to see anything happening yet!

 

 

Quite a few Oysters out round here now.

 

Have to say that I'm a little surprised that you got new fruiting bodies to fruit again from stem fragments of an old Fb you stuffed in to some drilled holes in fresh(ish) wood.

 

The commercial growers who sell inoculated dowels will love you ! Lol

Polypore species on dead birch, probably the Blackfoot polypore (P. leptocephalus aka P. varius)

With the amount of dogs walking on this path it wouldn't particularly be advisable to munch on this particular group
