Identification: Another rot ?

This orange patch shows up well in the center of green moss on the lower
portion of a dead pine tree. The upper portion is populated by red belted conks.
I guess this is another of the rots taken host on a dead tree.
Kindly ID please. Thank you.

 

Hi David - This appears to be a Phlebia but possibly a different species.

 

Thanks a lot. At least I can surf in the right direction.

 

Sounds good! Do note the range/known occurence descriptions in the Phlebia/Merulius species you look up.

 

Will do.

 

Surfed for Phlebia orange in colour returns many "Phlebia radiata - Wrinkled Crust".
Of course it's a irresponsible attitude, I took that ID for the time being !

 

I think you are correct David - Phlebia radiata is the most likely ID.
