Young Fungi ID Help

[Treespasser]

Hi all,

 

Found this fungi on a mature Ash, I have a few suspects in mind but wouldn't mind a few opinions.

I'm usually quite good with ID, but not so experienced with young brackets.

 

Here are some pics:

You say young but is it not a small, old, piece of shaggy bracket - Inonotus hispidus?

It's a bit hard to tell from the pieces.

I should've mentions it was at the base. The tree is health with good vitality. Not likely to be Inon H
