help with Fungi ID

[Glen Poole]

Hi, i was climbing an Oak tree this week when i came across this Fungi. It was at a height of approx 10m on the main stem. It was growing from an old large wound, i didn't have my camera with me at the time so i cut off a bit & took the photos at home, any ideas? many thanks, Glen. Sorry about the quality of photos.

Daedalea quercina ...

 

... a brown rotter, which can cause an extensive decay leading to a cavity behind the wound it is fruiting from, which can make (parts of) the crown unstable.
