Interesting, the file name is "Pycnoporus.cinnabarinus2.jpg". I thought it was P, cinnabarinus because of the relatively large pores. I wonder if the mistake is in the file name or the labelling. I don't know Pycnoporus. well enough to say.

No, no, gully.moy, I did mean P. coccineus. The original link where I viewed the photo says P. coccineus, see?

You mean that's what P. cinnabarinus looks like ;-)

Hmm, gully.moy could be right. James, you would need to see the ventral (under-) side of this 'shroom. This is what P. coccineus looks like from below: http://www.commanster.eu/commanster/Mush...

I would go with Pycnoporus sp. instead, because it's not clear what the species is.

Hard to tell the color is very dark and the structure is less shelf like and more like cauliflower
