Verrry cool Twiz! It's funny, I just came here from Mushroom Observer, and had just seen these pics you posted over there. I was hoping you were going to share them here too - a lot of people have thought they found this before, but certainly haven't.
AGARIKON!

Are you going to be brewing some tea ?
I saw Paul Stamets awarded a HUGE fomitopsis officinalis at the medicinal mushroom conference in 2008 . fantastic conk.

I did not pick any of them. I plan on contacting Paul to see if he has any interest in adding this culture to his collection of 58 strains.
It seems funny that I found my first true Agarikon just two days after shaking Stamets' hand...

I contacted Paul Stamets and will be taking him to this location for a tissue sample to clone and add to his genomic library this Summer.

How is this determined? Is it like counting tree rings only here you count layers?
