Black footed polypore

26 Aug 2011 181
Unfortunately, in my photo it looks as if the "stalk" might just be in shadow, but in fact it is black. Came across this photo that I hadn't posted back in the summer of 2009 and wanted to add it to my set of images taken on Rod Handfield's property, south of Calgary, near Millarville. As you can see, this fungus has pores on the underside of the cap, not gills. I'm not sure if this is a Bay-brown Polypore (Polyporus badius).
