Red-belted Conk - Fomitopsis pini-canadensis nom. prov.

Large fungus with cream colored pores. At least 30 cm wide. Growing on a tree in a coastal, mixed forest.

The name "Fomitopsis pini-canadensis" is provisional and is a split from the Fomitopsis pinicola group. So, I will leave the ID as Fomitopsis pinicola for now.
