Habitat: Found on a spruce right next to a warm creek heated by a hot springs in interior alaska


Are there any reishi lookalikes? heres another reishi, right?
 
Now as for this brown guy, i can smell it just typing about it. It smells soooo GOOD like something between a shitake and a portalbella. Any ideas on what it could be? Also found at the hot springs.. 
and lastly, i found this also, and thought it also looked like reishi! but its much smaller. This is why im curious about reishi varieties beacause ive heard people talk about different mushrooms with similar effects as with reishi. Does anyone have any idea the differences?

The first few "resihi" you posted are actually Fomitopsis pinicola complex.
You should be able to find Ganoderma oregonense in Alaska though. It will be fairly large, quite shiny, with a white flesh and brown pores.

Coprinoid of some sort, Not psychoactive. Someone more knowledgeable with gilled fungi should be along shortly to help you out with that one.
