Phaeolus schweinitzii
burgundy to light brown on top solid brownish underneath leathery 5 separate samples ranging from 7.5 cm wide to 4 cm wide all same thickness mostly 0.7 cm thickness focus on 7.5 cm wide one brown pore holes, 0.3 long cap almost sort of fuzzy
Stump
Im actual very sure on this one I'm going to identify this as Phaeolus scweinitzii notice in my description, I noticed it was "almost sort of fuzzy" one of the characteristics of the P. schweinitzii is 'velvet like'. Also, another characteristic is that they "commonly incorporate blades of grass, twigs, or fallen pine needles as they grow. Notice that first picture up there, ^^ It was something I noticed even when collecting the sample. Another one of the characteristics stated in the article by the US Department of Agriculture is that "Advanced decay caused by P. schweinitzii is a brown cubical rot." Notice the cube like decayed stump between the D note card and the knife. Another thing I noticed when I was collecting the sample. http://procezzed.blogspot.com/2012/02/mu...

no no, it does look a lot like the reishi, however the cap is not the same texture and there is no stipe present. I appreciate your suggestion anyway!
Look alike Reishi.. may be I am wrong.
