the pore surface looks moldy, not good to use if it is moldy.

I have a paper called "Study of some Ganoderma species" by Steyaert i can send you.

You would need a microscope for a positive ID. For convenience sake ill call it Ganoderma lucidum

Im sure it still has its healing power but it looks like its contaminated with mold. I wouldn't use it.

Do Reishi mushrooms grow in Oregon on the bases of rotten trees and have no stems and look like conchs?

Not sure about Oregon, but that's what most of them look like when I find them.

I made tea out of the stem of one looking like that about a year ago! The pores/pileus were bad, but the stem tasted alright to me! :kingtard::tongue:

I wouldn't constitute that as real advice though; I'm kinda dumb sometimes.
