I think the Lentinus family are gilled? This looks more like it's in the Polyporus family...possibly Polyporus varius or P.badius.
I was wrong again. I checked out the polyphores and it seems to closely resemble a polyphore squamosis, Dryad's saddle. How's that sound?
That would definately make sence. The texture to the cap as well as the black 'foot' would fit that perfectly.
Definitely Polyporus squamosus! Cheers, Harri Harmaja http://www.fmnh.helsinki.fi/users/harmaja/index.htm
I have seen it twice with the black foot? But as with my first guesses....I was thinking STRICTLY with the black foot as it being the P. badius. All the P.badius in my area have perfectly smooth caps though.....
