I’ve seen some small specimens, but most of the ones I’ve found are huge. The one I saw last week was bigger than the platter you use for serving Christmas turkey. Amazing.

I’d love to know what it is, and I suppose I should get busy and start analysing this polypore to find out. I suppose it might be Ganoderma oregonense.
