Old Reishi in south Sweden?
    #19828327 - 04/11/14 12:50 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Stumbled upon this and just wanted to see what you all thought it might be.
This is how I found it....Growing right off the top.  Its still there. I think its a small birch stump.

Is it to old to harvest and use for teas?

Thank you

That looks more like a Fomitopsis to me.

Is there hemlock in the area? I do not believe that is a birch. Was the fungus dry and light like a dry old rotten log gets, itself? Or is it hard and very woody? It could very possibly be an old decomposing Ganoderma. Compare to Ganoderma tsugae.

Thanks for the info dodeski,

Not sure about the trees, but when I knocked on it, it sounded hollow.

Hello and welcome!

I believe you have a specimen of Fomitopsis, possibly Fomitopsis pinicola

You can visually compare your image(s) to these collections of Fomitopsis pinicola:

Or you can compare your find to this description:

It is very possible. I have have never seen one with a stipe like that, but I presume growing out the top of a log  F. pinicola could produce that feature.
