Struggling with this bracket id.

[Nimby]

Probably really obvious but i'm struggling with this ident. Ganoderma pfeifferi where the lumpy edge has over wintered and gone red/brown?

 

Any help appreciated.

G. adspersum maybe..

[David Humphries]

Looks a fairly good shout for pfeifferi.

 

 

Did you try scratching the top surface, to see if it had the tell tale 'bees wax' coating?

Naaa, sorry David, couldn't get my hand past the PC screen to check, that's why I went fer adspersum

 

Not a fungi I've encountered much...or maybe I just have realised I have

[Nimby]

Thanks guys, also just spotted this pic with a younger version on show.

 

[David Humphries]

Yeah, I'd say these are pfeifferi.

 

Young developing australe and applanatum don't have that lacquered/reddish colour, like these ones present.

 

Give it a scratch if you come across them again

Ps, Paul I can't believe the AA haven't invested in sratchavision computer screens yet

[Nimby]

Definitely going to do the scratch test, thanks for all the advice.

 

David, thanks also for the insight into the future, scratch and sniff through my pc monitor! the mind boggles

personaly would swing toward adspersum/australe. But its just a game without the spore
