Thanks Arlanda and Lars!

Gerardo, I do not think it is Ganoderma Lucidum, it should have an upper surface reddish-brown with a brilliant glaze and I think it is not the case.
Maybe G. applanatum but it is hard to decide.

Looks more like a Red banded polypore to me

Interesting to know, these are used in art making, and medicines - nice spotting
