Fungi

I thought I'd post an extra image today, as I'm starting to build up a bit of a back-log. Nothing special, just a rather nice looking bit of fungi that I spotted on an old tree stump whilst on a walk.

If anyone is able to identify the fungi.........I'd be grateful. I think it's most likely to be a variety of Bracket Fungus, which is common on old tree stumps.

Edit..........thanks to aNNa, I have an ID which is:Polyporus squamosus, commonly referred to as Dryad's Saddle.

A very attractive and well captured fungi Keith, it is nicely patterned and has lovely colour both of which you have captured perfectly,
I am sure you are correct with bracket fungi but beyond that I am out of ideas. ;-)

The scaly polypore can be eaten young, but its culinary value is classified as rather low. As it ages, it becomes inedible due to its increasingly corky and tough consistency.
