Bird-Man Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi all, I found several of what I suspect to be Reishi mushrooms growing on a mulberry tree on our church's property. The only thing is they aren't as red as I would have suspected them to normally be. But they do have the white margin of new growth on the top as well as the shiny, lacquered appearance. What do you think? The first picture is the underside of one. The last picture is a young mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasso Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not reishi. I think this is Ganoderma applanatum, common name artist's conk. Pores should bruise brown when scratched. https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/ganoderma-applanatum.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
