Phellinus igniarius
Fantastic similar (same) mushroom as the one growing on a huge broken branch of the birch tree. This is attached to a still living part of the same tree. (Over 4 inches long)
Woodlands in the Poconos
It really helped to take a photo of the underside of this fungi to confirm ID suggested by Mick and Alex.
no problem. mick and i were posting simultaniously, had i seen his suggestions i would have just agreed. i think mick. nailed its direction and possibly also the species.
This bracket fungus could be Phellinus igniarius (Can grow to 25cm top getting dark with age) ?
Is there a fungi expert in the House? This was so cool! Another larger one too. Help! Thanks so much!
