This fungus is the result of observing trees in early spring. It can be observed on many species of deciduous trees, sometimes on conifers. In most cases, it grows on dead stumps, logs, fences. This one, however, settled on a healthy deciduous tree in a park alley.

They grow in groups, tile-shaped on the tree, and they grow sideways to the tree. The surface of the mushroom is irregular, dull, felt. The top is greyish, gray in color, sometimes due to the presence of moss it may have a greenish color.

The underside of the mushroom, i.e. the hymenophore, looks interesting. It is built of lamellae, which is not common in arboreal fungi.

The gills are quite dense, radially arranged in a white color in young fruiting bodies, to grey, nutty in mature fruiting bodies.

The flesh of this fruiting body is quite thin, light brown. It does not have a clear sms and smell.

Where to look for a mushroom. It is quite popular and occurs everywhere except in mountainous areas. It can appear in parks on trees, but also on old benches, on fences in gardens. It is an inedible mushroom, but with medicinal properties. In Far Eastern medicine, it is used to treat pain and colds.

And besides, there was a Ganoderma applanatum in the forest nearby. Maybe a mushroom as common, but I saw this one for the first time as a completely round specimen. It looked a bit like a UFO.
