    It does look a lot like Thelephora terrestris but lighter coloured and thin like paper folded as an oregami rossette. I`ll try to identify this strain, dont know how much luck i`ll have. Thanks BubikolRamios.

    It has some features of Stereum, however it more closely resembles telephorales, and unlike stereum which all appeared attached to the tree, i dug these from the earth next to the exposed root. i`ll follow the thread along the lines of Thelephora terrestris, maybe search through the myco files the the university of the west indies.
    These other pictures are for a mushroom i found about two months ago growing from a small dead stump (pictured). I thing it`s a ganoderma. It looks haggered now but was shiny when new. what do you think?

    Hi Zuzzo,

    I agree you have a Ganoderma there.

    When you post a new set of photos, for a different kind of mushroom, it is better to start a new thread for them, thanks.

    cheers,
    frog

    Not too sure about the fistulina, but it does look like your ganoderma. I`ll try to culture it in a few weeks as time allows.
