Trametes species, possibly T. hirsuta

Hmmmmm. I doubt T. hirsuta but it is not a Ganoderma.
Sorry I cannot help more.

Fomitopsis forms pretty solid big brackets with a swollen attachment, never curtains.

I apologize I am working on being more mindful of my actions. I guess I need to work on analyzing my assumptions too.
