What is this?

[BigfootBjornson]

No but it was the underside that looked really quite similar.

Indeed, it does. As you point out, these brackets are just massive. However, it does actually appear that they are D. confragosa!

A few I have come across during recent weeks that I am unsure about:

 

Bjerkandera adusta / Chondrostereum purpureum / Trametes?

 

On Prunus sp. (tree is largely dead) -

 

On Acer platanoides (around old wounds) -

 

On what looks like a dead Carpinus betulus -

 

Pardon the probable level of ignorance on these ones. I should be knowing these, but unfortunately not in this instance. The last set has some that looks like Trametes versicolor, but others don't so much.

 

Thanks in advance.

Think first is Bjerkendera

 

Second looks like desiccated Auricularia mesenterica

 

Third set looks like 2 different species
