#2236 - Ganoderma sp.

Artist's Brackets, Reishi, and Allies - a genus of some 80 species of woody polypore bracket fungi, with fan or hoof-shaped fruiting bodies called 'conks'.

Ganoderma grow on both conifers and hardwoods, and produce enzymes that can digest cellulose and lignin. Some species are used in Chinese traditional medicine, but there's very little evidence it's actually good for anything.
