Caps on stems; pores below caps [boletes & stemmed polypores]


 

The fungi in this group produce fruitbodies with pores on the underside of the cap. Mostly the pores are roughly circular but in some species they are elongated. In some species the pores measure a millimetre or more in diameter but in others they are almost invisible to the naked eye and you may need a magnifying glass or hand lens to confirm their presence.

Below ground there'd be a slerotium or pseudosclerotium, depending on which species this is.

Whithout seeing this one dissected or micros of the spores, its almost impossible to get to the species level; hope this comment is not too disappointing

Certainly a bolete of some kind, but between the degraded state and the large chunks missing I doubt there are enough identifying features here for anyone to make and ID
