Fomes hemitephrus
Approximately 60mm wide; white with pale bands and 'hoof' shaped on top; possibly yellow-cream stem?; white under surface with clear open pores. Also of interest is the cluster of seeds against the trunk near a small cavity... maybe a small, seed collecting creature was hiding in the back of it.
On the side of an old eucalyptus stump next to a stream in dry sclerophyll eucalyptus forest.
Distinctively this one is often white on top and has what looks like a short stipe from the top into the substrate. Endemic to Australia and New Zealand.
