Notes: I found this mysterious polypore growing on a stump in my neighbors back yard. The stump in question has only been observed fruiting P. Squamosis up until this point. I believe this to be a secondary decomposer, but it’s identification has stumped some of the best mycological minds I know thus far. I am baffled and was told to try here…. so what do you guys think? What is this mushroom?

Should have let it develop. I know…, easy to say from a distance after the fact. Maybe it will grow back in your neighbors yard and get mature enough to ID. Pores might be diagnostic for some.

Well..that was my initial intention, but it was getting very dark and not really changing otherwise. I felt that it had actually reached maturity and had begun to die back. So I made a decision to pick it and get a cross section photo… shrug
