Not too sure on that one. Its quite close though the spores are more grey. But could be. 

Looks like heterobasidium annosum, conifers are the main host.

Okay then, well that's two votes for heterobasidium, so will go with that. Thanks.

About 3-4 metres up a nice old oak tree out of the back of our barn. 

 

This oak had its top blown out in the 1987 hurricane. He has come back very well, just with a shorter bole.

Found this at the base of a Douglas fir today. Very wet and rainy so the bracket was quite wet when I took the shot. 

 

I am not sure if it is Gloeophyllum sepiarium or Inonotus cuticularis or something completely different. 

 

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Having now read up on this, it seems quite deadly towards conifers. This bracket is at the base of a fairly large and fairly old (seems to be about 150 years) Douglas fir, there are two of these on a small island next to a converted victorian greenhouse. 

 

I am guessing Picus would be a good way to know what the state is. There are no signs of any damage to the tree that I can see at all.
