It looks like a type of crust fungus Eric, do you know what type of tree it was on? |

Thanks Dave. I am not sure of the type of tree, it was on the edge of a Beechwood but it was just a dead old bit of stump really. Cherries and Hawthornes often grow on the fringes. |

Hi Alan. It all depends on what type of tree they are growing on. The bark doesn't look cracked enough to be alder but it could be beech. Inonotus radiatus can't be completely ruled out and i can see some sunken red droplets near the margins so that does point towards Inonotus radiatus. The main issue is if the tree is healthy, then I.radiatus can usually be ruled out, if the tree is dead or dying then it becomes more likely that it is I.radiatus As the bracket develops a photo of the underside would be in order to look more closely at the pores/tubes, this would certainly aid in determining a full identification. The difficulty is that many young bracket fungi can look very similar and it's only with a certain amount of aging that the bracket reveals it's true identity, unless microscopy can be used and spores can be examined. It is worth keeping an eye on the developing bracket as Inonotus radiatus, whilst widespread, has increasing become only locally common and nowhere near as common as it used to be. |

If you do go back Alan, it would be worth taking some photos of the underside. |

Hi John It is a Hoof Fungus, a very variable bracket fungus. |
