Polyporoid species
Unlike the boletes, which also have a tubular-poroid fertile surface, polypores in the broad sense usually have a leathery or even woody consistency. Confusion only occurs with those polypores that have a cap and stipe, but the vast majority of species in this group have a more simple body shape; sometimes they remain totally attached to the substrate but may perhaps form small lateral brackets or grow into a hoof shape in a position perpendicular to the woody host.
Growing on a pile of logs.
