Someone from your school already posted a spotting for this mushroom: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19335257 It's not a Ganoderma I'm afraid. If you're keen to find out what it is, I'd encourage you to upload it to Mushroom Observer. They'll be the best at helping you identify it and they will appreciate such an interesting fungus. http://mushroomobserver.org/ If you do decide to upload it there, please post a link to the page here so we can all follow it's progress :-)
