Fungi Pycnoporus

Your ideas are very interesting. Thanks for your input.

My initial thought was a Pycnoporus species too, but the tiered form of the fungus put me off. On reflection I agree that this is a Pycnoporus species displaying gravitropism where the bracket has grown on a standing tree, then the tree has fallen and so the fungus has grown out perpendicular to it's original direction in response to the rotation of gravity.

If you do upload it there, pleas post a link here so we can follow it's progress!

Consider posting this spotting on Mushroom Observer. They will be most likely to help you identify it and I'm sure they'll appreciate such an interesting fungus :-)

Very cool, don't know what it is though.
