artist's conk (Ganoderma applanatum) fruiting bodies on European beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Saprobe, but sometimes marginally parasitic. Grows mostly on hardwood decaying logs and stumps, or from the wounds of injured, living trees. Fungus produces a white to straw-colored rot of sapwood and heartwood. The fruiting structure is perennial and adds layers to the structure on an annual basis. Spores are brown to reddish brown. The polypore produces massive numbers of spores each year.
