Fomitopsis pinicola
Upper surfaces are shiny, as if painted with lacquer. The upper base is reddish-orange followed by an yellow-orange band and finally with a lighter or yellow band at the edge.
Usually found on logs and stumps, but may invade wounds on living trees.
There is a possibility this may actually be a Lacquered Polypore, but I've decided to call it Red-belted polypore based upon my research. Unfortunately, it is often difficult or impossible to ID fungi from a photograph and I didn't take any notes at the time I found it. If others want to weigh in and dispute my ID, please do.
