A large fungi on the side of a tree. The top of it was a dusty brown, and it appeared to have layers, or sort of folds as it slanted down to form an overhang, with the under side of it being completely white.
Young, possibly Ganoderma, found on log beside the trail in Pack forest.
Old rot killed the tree and then it continued to grow
Polyporales (earlier known as Aphyllophorales) are important decomposers of wood. They are basidiomycetes that lack soft gills (lamellae), but are also hymenomycetes as are boletes and agarics. This assemblage of fungi is polyphyletic. Polyporales have a smooth hymenophore, or have pores such as the boletes, or teeth, or irregular gills. Major groups are the polypores and various coral fungi.
