Nice spotting and series Luis! Looks like a pycnoporus sanguineus: http://eol.org/pages/1029268/overview
I doubted because as it is bent I can´t see the lines and imagine the texture well, but as time goes by fungi tend to sort of do that so I thought it could be a pycnoporus sanguieus which is on wood. You saw it so it may be easier for you to tell. Greetings =)
