Monterey pine

Hi guys,

Wandered if anyone can identify this fungi....

Not 100% certain but being a Pine i would have a guess at it being a young Phaeolus Schweinitzii or Heterobasidion annosum.

Take a look at Phellinus pini; I found something similar a while back.

Thanks, I think it's Phellinus pini. It's a mature Monterey. It's bleeding from what appears to be an old split in the main stem that doesn't go all the way through. There was 4 or 5 of these small brackets in the crown of the tree. I would've thought they have come about due to the tree being stressed but I'm not sure how detrimental to the trees health they both are. There is a property next to the tree.
