In one of the pictures the mushroom is growing on a dead Water Tupelo tree and the other it is growing on the ground and I did not notice in wood or roots. I believe they are both Ganoderma lucidum. Both were taken in Montgomery Al. One was taken in a Water Tupelo Swamp and the other in a dryer area. Both in very shaded areas. Thanks, Bill Campbell
