Any one hazard an educated guess ?

I'm leaning towards an immature Ganoderma resinaceum ( Lacquered Bracket )

Found girdling a Turkey Oak, fruiting inbetween every single root butress.

We've got something that looks very similar on an Ash, but it seemed to stay yellow last year. Will get a pic if I remember!

Could be a young one. Cut it and see if some resin dribbles out and goes hard quickly. If I remember right (haven't seen one for a while), it's a fairly lively coloniser. Looks very nice to me...
