I have been trying for a while to identify this one, but to no avail. I declare open season on it! Thanks! Posted 11 years ago

  Does it have gills, pores or spines? What tree does it grow on?
  It could be Polyporus alveolaris, but you need both sides of a fungus to ID.

    I have another picture that shows the underside, but it is not clear enough by my own standards to post it on here. The underside is a lighter yellow or tan color with pores. I believe you are correct with this ID! You never cease to amaze, WildFlower! Posted 11 years ago
