Bjerkandera fumosa
This stack of rounded brackets was about two metres tall on the side of a prunus tree. Brackets are interjoined, folded and the centres show patches of toothy surface. Each bracket was approximately 120mm wide. Looks a little like Bjerkandera adusta in form but has colours and size more typical of B.fumosa.
In a local reserve. Kings Park.
Bjerkandera fumosa is not often recorded in Australia but nothing else fits so well. B adusta is introduced here.

"Bjerkandera fumosa is a one-year fungus, cap-like, without a stipe. Adnate sideways, semicircular, or oblong-deflected. 20 to 50 mm wide, 30 to 120 mm long and 5 to 15 mm thick. Single fruiting bodies usually grow into roof-like aggregates, sometimes they are resupinate. Straw-yellow, pale-nut colors. "

Three, beautiful photos....
Yeap,iam beganing to feel lack of a microscope too,it's my goal to 2015 :)
There are so many fungi only id'ble with microscopic photos,that it's a need,i have to dig the ideal,not to much expensive model,to be able to load the photos
Thanks Antonio. I have decided it is Bjerkandera but they are mostly not in Australia. Microscopic work would be necessary for species.
Beautiful find Mark,congrats and thanks for sharing
