Fomitopsis pinicola
Found growing on a rotted stump at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield
I'm trying to learn more about the fungi I encounter on my walks and hikes. I think this may be: Phellinus igniarius (Willow Bracket), Fomitopsis pinicola (Red Banded Polypore), or Trametes versicolor (Turkey tail). Comments and guidance appreciated! Going with Fomitopsis pinicola for now based on suggestion!

Thanks for the confirmation! Any additional comments on how to tell in the future between these??
It's a very old Red Banded Polypore
