Trametes cingulata

A pantropical white-rot polypore described by Berkeley in 1854, recognised by its sooty black, smooth, often concentrically grooved cap. It grows on dead broadleaf wood in savanna woodland and dry forest; GBIF has about 300 wild records from West and southern Africa, Australia and the Americas.
