I was originally going to say it could be a Rigidiporus or Perrenniporia, but the spores from these are white and that looks like a cinnamonny spore colour underneath that top bracket, so it could be a Gano sp. possibly G.applantum due to it growing on dysfunctional or dead wood at the base of trees...

 

BUT, i am not an expert and others like Fungus (Gerrit) and Hama or David will be along shortly to correct me and say that to be sure, to be sure, you need a microscopic analysis of the spores to give a 100% correct identification:thumbup:

 

 

Oh, and have a look at the fungi directory, its a valuable resource:biggrin:

Rob,

and I would expect this to be an annual Ganoderma species, such as G. resinaceum.

What are the conquences of this ?
