Hi, after looking on Google images, my best guess is that this is Ganoderma applanatum or artists conk. I saw this log besides a lake, nice and shady.
Can anyone confirm/correct my ID?

Habitat:
Shaded log

Country:
UK

Other information:




Thanks,

Bobbo

I see some polypores on a log, but can't enlarge the pic enough to get a proper look.

Ganoderma applanatum does grow in your area though, so maybe.

If you could get pics of the whole mushroom that would be great.

Here's a link to a bunch of observations of G. applanatum.

Yeah, the photo was just a quick snap on my phone as I was passing.
I'll go back with my camera and get a better shot.
Thanks for the great link.

Not Ganoderma, habit, shape and texture are wrong unless lack of definition in the photo is misleading me. Please take close-ups of a single specimen upper and underside for an ID.

I am curious how you could observe texture from the pic posted?

The top of the fruit body looks a furry purple, and its clean shape is also suggesting a polypore with a soft texture, since the lumpier ones are often tough. The distribution of light and colour is how we can visually perceive texture. The fact that I couldn't make a definitive observation is accounted for in my post. :smile:
