I found this growing about six inches from the ground on a Mature Oak Tree.The Crown of the Tree was sparcer than normal.

 

Can anyone tell me what the Fungus is?

 

The fruiting body is about 1.5 inches across and was bright yellow similar to a Egg Yolk in colour when I found it.

Almost certainly a mycorhizal bolete. Odd to be on the stem though. I see moss, is the base of the tree often damp? May be that the mycelium from the soil has found a route up the bark furrows/under loose bark...

 

The base of the Tree is often Damp.Everything is often damp in Western Norway:001_smile:

 

When I pulled it off,a chunk of the Bark came too.
