Bracket fungus for ID plse?

This is on a tree stump- afraid I can't be sure which kind of tree, it could be deciduous, coniferous or even ornamental.

It's the black layer above the white which is confusing me most. Diameter-approx 9-10 cm



Thanks

At this early stage it is difficult to be sure but probably Ganoderma australe.

Hi Mal

Not G. resinaceum then?

I was thinking along those lines because the black layer is quite shiny under a flash or in sunlight?

Thanks
