Fungus for ID ABAUG01/10 : 4 posts by 3 authors. 1 image.

Found this large fungus (about 2.5-3 feet across) on a Ficus (F. bengalensis very likely) next to the other ficus I posted. Please advise.

May be Ganoderma lucidum

Appears more closer to images at Fomes fomentarius

On further discussions, looks different from Fomes fomentarius

May be some Phellinus‎ species.
