fomitopsis pincola (red belted bracket)

Found quite a lot of the what I think is the above on a trip to Slovenia. Mainly on conifers stumps in mixed forest

Never seen it in uk, anyone ever come across in uk?

Yep, that's the red band, nice find.

 

I've only seen it here in the uk once, from a beech at Burnham Beeches last February.

The gallery shots in the fungi directly are mostly from ones I came across in Poland last year.

 

Certainly more common on the continent than here, but I've seen a few pop up on the British Mycological Society page this year.
