Found this on a beech last week, after initially thinking it was Oyster mushroom, i then began to think it might be dryads saddle. However based on the current combination of books on the desk neither of them persist for a very long after degrading. This is clearly a seasonal bracket thats either still attached because it's a sheltered spot or a late (early) second fruiting but no idea quite what it is.

Thought would be appreciated

Dryads Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus) has pores, Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) has gills. Yours has pores.

Yeah it's a good looking fung that one.

 

Would be interesting to get the chance to slice a stem up that has it.

 

Have seen plenty of brown rotted crumbling stumps but not seen a clean cross section of the decay yet.

Could always fell that one, in the interests of scientists research of course
