It looks to be Ganoderma resinaceum.

 

Though you would more often find Perenniporia fraxinia at the base of ash

 

 

 

Can you get a wedge shaped slice from it showing the flesh and pore layer ?

Is this what your after?

Yep, I would say that you have Ganoderma resinaceum

 

 

The lighter fawn coloured rim on your image is the new forming bracket, it will turn darker and reddish as it matures.

like this one below and the next which shows older & younger bracket forming, which has a cocoa coloured spore dusting over the bracket surface (unlike Perenniporia which would have a white spore dusting)

Yep, I would say that you have Ganoderma resinaceum

 

........having said that, I've just spent the last 20 minutes trawling through the 427 records of Ganoderma resinaceum on the Fungal record data base and can not see it associated with ash

 

Its listed as being associated with oak, beech, hornbeam, horse & sweet chestnut, elm, acer, willow, birch, robinia & cherry.

Some of those are over a hundred years old and maybe questionable as are the records of it on pine & yew

so, you either have yourself a first for the uk (I don't think I've noted it on ash before).........or its Perenniporia fraxinea
