I have also NEVER seen slugs eat the surface of Applanatum and if you look, thier was a slug, a black one dissapearing rapidly to left of image! and marks where it had started to devour the pore surface of this bracket.:

 

From yesterday.....

 

Both brackets off the same standing dead Oak, a few inches apart.

Interesting variation in form.

 

Not that this shows any fung grazing, but the asociation may infer that the pest is hosting in this G. applanatum for a good reason other than coincidence.

was my first thought, but still not come across any atypical flat foot galls at Hampstead.

 

But got a feeling Andy possibly has, maybe in Kenwoods older woods.
