    Hi. I am Saurabh from Chandigarh, India. This is my first post here. This Mushroom was found around a tree in Panjab University, Chandigarh. Please help me identify

    It was growing on the tree trunk and also on soil around the tree.
    Temperature was around 26-28 degree C. I couldn't make out the species of the tree though but I can inquire about it if it's of any help.
    The last one is a different fungus and I have been told that it is Fomis. Not sure though.

    To make it easier for readers of your post, you can post the picture in this forum, instead of forcing someone to download the photo from another site.

    I think your file labels are correct - Ganoderma.
    There are a number of reishi-type species in the world, shiny on top like yours.

    Is it Ganoderma lucidum or some other Fungi?
