Fungi ID on Poplar

[jacquemontii]

Please see photos of a bracket at the base of a large mature black poplar. I'm thinking Rigidoporus ulmarius. As per previous advice from this forum I took a slice of the bracket which I photographed on site. Unfortunately as you will see the photos of the slice are pretty awful, however I am hopeful they still provide enough info to get an ID.

 

Is this slice showing cinnamon coloured tubes in contrast with pale flesh, and therefore distinguishing it from Perenniporia fraxinea?

[Alinicoll]

Yes it is indeed Rigidiporus ulmarius with it`s Cinnamon tubes

[jacquemontii]

Same site but on another poplar I found what I thought was a Ganoderma species (see pics below). I was fairly confident at the time so I didn't bother to slice into it or take very detailed photos, however I have since consulted some books, and based on the host being poplar I'm now not so sure? Wondering if its Fomes fomentarius? Is it possible to find Ganoderma on poplar? Any takers?

Does appear to be Ganoderma applanatum
