Saw this fungus on a beech today, never seen it before though. Also had old merip around the base and ganoderma too!

Still no wiser on this one. Any idea what this is?

Fairly common Will, but only if you had the pleasure of seeing them and bagged them in their particular habitat.

Went out on a short foray around the woods near me. Found a few nice specimens.

Ganoderma (or Fomes) Postia and old Laetiporus perhaps?

By golly I think your right Mr Humphries. LOL! 

 

Yes I think Fomes, took a few shots of different angles but didn't include. 

 

Laetiporus and Postia. 

 

Photo is of the largest catch of the day. Halfway up the bole of a very large beech.

Created by nature. Or is it?
