Index of Subjects Hi Nancy & All, Aug 13, 2013 Assuming near white is the final (mature) color and also that it has pores not gills, it could be a perennial fungus Oxyporus populinus (Fr.) Donk. Take a small piece from the largest shelf and put it, lower side down, on a scrap of window glass. If you get a spore print within one day then it is mature. Check to see if there is more than one layer of pores. "Usually near the ground on trunks of living Maple": Smith & Smith, 1973.
