Anybody any good at identifying mushrooms? This one is bright red, very solid, as big as my hand, and about an inch thick. And no, it didn't sprout in my frog terrarium, I was doing some bouldering along a stream and discovered it and a slightly smaller one on a nice piece of wood (that was way to securely attached to a boulder or you would be seeing a picture of that also). It is doing well in my 45 gallon tank but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it?

Looks to me like shelf fungus. I'm not 100% sure on what species it is, but I have seen them many times.

It does look like one of the bracket fungi. Pycnoporus cinnabarinus is a bright red one, but this looks a bit darker than that.
