Heterobasidion annosum?

[JaySmith]

Found these brackets at the base of a Pine today. Looks like Heterobasidion annosum but am happy to be proved wrong or if anybody has other suggestions?

 

Images aren't the best quality...

Looks like Phaeolus schweinitzii at a glance. Dyer's mazegill, and the pores certainly are maze-like (image #3, notably). Also, the purple-black tinge atop and yellow-tinged hymenium in its over-mature state. Found around conifers (usually - sometimes deciduous trees), or on the stem / in old wounds of large limbs.

Top pic looks like a pair of Y fronts with their long service medal ....

Thanks for reply, does Phaeolus schweinitzii really go that dark in its later stages as I've only seen it when it's an almost bright yellow?
