Cool. Looks like you grabbed the reishi?

Where are you located? True reishi, as in the famous Asian variety typically thought to be G.lucidum is actually a different species called Ganoderma lingzhi and occurs only in China, Japan, and a few surrounding countries. G.lucidum itself is actually European and grows across the European continent with some sources saying it does grow in Asia as well, it is absent from the US, except in possibly a few introductions, Salt Lake City has an interesting Ganoderma species.

Not to co-opt the thread but, Mrcloudy, I have a question. A while back I posted about finding an orange reishi growing in similar climate to a tsugae. I didn't get an answer on why it would be orange or if it was a different species. Any ideas for me? This is the thread. Thanks!

You have either Ganoderma curtisii or Ganoderma meredithae depending on whether it was growing from hardwood or pine. G.meredithae grows along the Gulf Coast on pine, whereas G.curtisii grows on hardwoods.

Looks to be G.tsugae 
It is lighter in color because for some reason the color did not fully mature to the deep red, this happens sometimes, the coloring is dependent on environmental conditions. Though some species are more resistant to the full coloration, such as G.curtisii which often only gets to yellow before it stops. But all red Ganoderma start out white, transitioning to yellow or orange, then onto a deep red. The red will also oxidize to black after the mushroom has died if it lasts long enough, though this is more common in apparently very wet climates (probably bacterially induced) like the PNW, I have received several G.oregonense specimesn that were black. This also happens with dried specimens that are kept for many years. A similar bacterial process may lead to a blue sheen on the mushroom and in rare cases full on blue skin. But these all happen after the mushroom has died.

Not positive on the last 2 pics (they might be the same just older) but the first four are Gyroporus castaneus, the chestnut bolete. Yum!
