Saw this on a beech last week, and not a 100% certain what it is, any suggestions?

Really? No top, or bottom to it though, but it is fresh out, between live and dead boundary. The main reason I ask is that I wondered what Daldinia looks like young.

 

Anyone for a second opinion?

Thanks guys, I am still abit sceptical, although does appear to be casuing a white rot. Must admit it is what I thought at first but, you read some stuff and then question it.

Anyway will be good to document, tree doesn't need to come down for a while.

 

Thanks again
