what Fungi could this be?

I would say gano as you can see brown dust on the ivy leaves below the bracket in pic four. Not jumping the gun or anything but a stab in the dark i would go for Ganoderma pfeifferi IMO

 

This would be my opinion too, the upper aged bracket is black, the first shot is of a very broad attachment, ruling out applanatum/lipsiense. and not white enough to be australe.

 

the spore print also rules out Poly, as does the time of year

 

being beech is another good indication

also worth mentioning the formation of newer brackets, indicating a recent breach into fresh volumes.

They are grossly underfunded and overworked, they dont have the time to be helpful, unless its in the remit, and this isnt.

 

I know we pay council tax for these services, thats another thread altogether

 

My arguement is always that they are going to have to attend after any application is submitted anyway.

 

So have a site visit, with the contractor, agree the extent of any neccessary works then and there. Submit application on the agreed works and bob's your uncle.

It makes perfect sense, i cant see why this shouldnt happen.
