Phaeotrametes decipiens
Small woody bracket polypores spotted on fallen native she-oak, a species of casuarina tree. Diameter of largest specimens approx. 6 cms. Top of brackets banded, mostly brown. Large, deep, and irregular pores which are darker beneath each bracket, with paler sections which look almost melted in appearance.

So do I. They do very well during the dry spells, of which we've had plenty of late.
Love those polypores!
