You're welcome - and yes, it's a fungus, so why not putting it to the mushroom mission?

Hi Lars, yes, the images of Stereum is much more similar to this spot, thank you for your help! Last question - can I add this to the mushroom mission?

thank you lightworkerpeace, i looked through those and saw one similar looking mushroom, in browns and greens, I am not 100% sure though. Think I should leave Unknown till I get a better understanding of how to ID mushrooms?
