Wildlife Spotting

It looks like the bark of an Ash or Oak tree... It could be several species. Ganoderma applanatum is probably the most common. Due to the bottom having more of a white instead of yellow color it is most like not of Phellinus genera... Fomes fomatarium is also a possibility. Knowing the tree species and taking a spore print can help with identification. You can find my mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/23262005

If you don't mind can you add your spottings to my mission: Mushrooms of Appalachia. Just getting started on this one.

This wouldn't happen to be a mulberry tree would it?

Any extra photos of the pores under the cap may help. Also the species of tree that the fungi is growing on. Also size of the caps if the tree is close-by and you are still able to obtain. Nice photo by the way!

This also resembles a species of the Phillinus genera... Possibly Phillinus linteus.

Looks like an old Ganoderma species.
