Both are natively Asian species though...just to point out.

Ganoderma is certain from my view. It's somehow juvenile though - so both are possible: G. tsugae and G. lucidum. I'll tend to Reishi (G. lucidum) like Ashish and Ernesto. It's definetely no Cinnabar Polypore, like suggested.

Its Reishi Mushroom. I feel its Ganoderma lucidum.

I should've taken a pic of the canopy of the tree, but I looked for some photos of Eastern hemlock bark and it does look like it could be a hemlock after all.

Is that Hemlock it's growing on? If it is, it's a Hemlock Varnish Shelf; if it's a deciduous tree, than it is a Ling Chih.
