A hard and shiny (but annual) conk of western North America. It may be the same species as G. tsugae.

Possibly the same as G. tsugae, and possibly medicinal. Photo from near Sechelt, British Columbia. One of the "American Reishi", relating to a famous oriental species.

Stemmed and vanished conks of this species complex are widespread. Known as Reishi or Lingzhi in the orient, they are of ongoing medicinal interest. In context at www.dixpix.ca/Amazon/fungi/index.html
