Can anyone identify this to Help me out?

It’s on a Robina tree

It’s about 1m up the stem of the tree.

Is there a second FFB below the main fruiting mass, there looks to be something different but the photos are quite poor and it's difficult to make out.

Schizophylum commune (split gill fungus) perhaps.

Had a couple of ideas but atm don't want to appear foolish and list them. Can you get some much clearer photos, including the undersurface and maybe even see if you can get a spore print? 

 

I'm puzzled.

Is that even recorded in the UK? My brief search last night indicated that it wasn't but I'd be happy to be corrected.

That'll teach me to rely on Wikepedia, as a reliable source
