Hallo all,
it is very difficult to identify fungis when you can't see them from all
sides.
But Karuna Kanta Das ji, if it is in your Garden, perhaps you can make
Fotos from underside of it, tell us, if it is hard or soft.
Anyway, I feel it could be the (Zunderschwamm) *Tinder Fungus* /*Fomes
fomentarius. */not edible, as most of the fungi growing on treetrunks,
but used in firemaking as tinder, also has medicinal uses. "Ötzi the
iceman" was carrying pieces of Zunderschwamm with him, not sure, if to
make fire or as a travelmedicin.
Regards
Nalini
