Found this on the underside of some lilac limbs this morning. Anyone any idea what it might be?

A phellinus or stereum spp?

If it is a Phellinus, it must be P. vorax, but I vote for Tony's suggestion : Heterobasidion annosum.

Thanks guys, appreciate the help.

Interesting, have either of you documented H.annosum (the root rot/root fomes) off the ground up on the trunk before?

Yes, although not very often, I have. And once the tree has fallen, H. annosum often fruits from the entire length of a stem or trunk with soil contact.

Not this high no, but it is certainly the right form, colour both in upper and pore layers, even the pores themselves are right.
