Kinda hard. I uploaded a similar one recently but I forgot to take the underside shot and the growth spot, it was identified by a Brazilian specialist as a possible Fuscoporia, but it's not a guarantee. It goes beyond my abilities to accurately identify this without seeing the underside and the growth spot / substract. Ganoderma is definitely a possibility... As are many other genera.
Reminds me of Fuscoporia as well.
Probably someone can identify in the mission "Mushroom Mapping" i.e

Red belted Polypore ?
Yes as with most fungi species size and structures of the underside (usually the fertile surface) are important if not critical for ID.
Thanks Mark! The architecture is similar to that of Ganoderma but I couldn't find any species match.
Ganoderma sp. ?
