Ben,

Definitely a (partially resupinate) Phellinus species, but what tree species is it on : ash, oak, poplar, Robinia ?

Yes, I already noticed, so after looking through my tree hosts of Phellinus species files, one can choose between P. contiguus or P. punctatus, which both mostly are resupinate, and P. robustus, which mostly is ungulate to applanate, or P. torulosus, which mostly is sessile to pileate, so a bracket has to be taken down for (microscopical) identification.
