Large brown tree fungi in dutch forest I can't find an ID for it, so I can only describe them. These are brownish red on the top, and yellowish at the bottom. They are fairly large, about the size of an adult male's hand or larger. Artist's Fungus,Autumn,Fall,Ganoderma applanatum,Heesch,Netherlands Click/tap to enlarge

    I think this is your specie.
    This is very nice site - maybe it is worth to include it in the Identification guide?

''Ganoderma applanatum'' is a bracket fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution. The spore bodies are up to 30–40 centimetres across, hard, woody-textured, and inedible; they are white at first but soon turn dark red-brown.
