Field Notes

Description:

I saw this fungi at the Singapore American School forest and it was attached to a brown twig which fell off a tree. It was a pale brown kind of like a pale skin tone on the top of it, and on the bottom it was different shades of brown. It was in a shape of a circle which has something on the bottom of it which was holding it to the twig.

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but this fungus looks a bit thin for Ganoderma. Perhaps look at Microporus species instead.

Bracket fungi can also grow on large branches like in your picture, too, not just trunks!
