Very hard fungi found on decaying eucalyptus tree. Very hard cracking black top with large redish brown ring which looks like a giant fat catapiller! Anyone know what this might be.the tree is still alive but looking poorly.

Fungi with hard black cracked charcoal appearance with a brownish band around it found on a eucalyptus tree which is in poor condition with lots of decay. Hopefully the pictures will work this time !

Re: Fungi id
I'm surprised that no one has yet responded to this.
I don't really "do brackets", but I'll throw a suggestion in.
Probably wrong, but I'd be thinking along the lines of something like old looking Ganoderma australe.

Hello,
I think this is Phellinus igniarius or a similar species - the host Eucalyptus in unusual and it might be interesting for the polypore freaks to have a look (by microscope) what it rally is.
best regards,
Andreas
