Reishi?

I am familiar with the ganoderma species on hemlocks and some other varieties I've seen in the wild before. This one is in my yard in Pennsylvania, however, and is growing on the "ground," actually a rotting tree of Heaven stump that is cut low. I picked one last year that grew on the stump, and it looks like reishi I've seen other places, maybe a little more of a fan shape though, but it had pores on the underside that were fairly small (I dont think I can get a good pore image of this one without picking it) and white, and the regular shiny cap like other ganoderma species do. Thanks for your help!

That's what I was curious about. Thanks for the help! I have spots to find some actual hemlock varnish shelf that would be more usable for reishi tea if I decide to try to make some. Still a cool looking fungus! Are there poisonous ganoderma species, out of curiosity?
