I thought I'd post an extra image today, as I'm starting to build up a bit of a back-log. Nothing special, just a rather nice looking bit of fungi that I spotted on an old tree stump whilst on a walk.

If anyone is able to identify the fungi.........I'd be grateful. I think it's most likely to be a variety of Bracket Fungus, which is common on old tree stumps.

Edit..........thanks to aNNa, I have an ID which is:Polyporus squamosus, commonly referred to as Dryad's Saddle.

Glad you like the photo Gudrun..........and I think you're very wise not to eat wild fungi.

La photo est trés intéréssante mais je ne sais pas l'identifier. Je sais que certains de ces champignons d'arbres sont comestibles voire trés bons. Personnellement je n'y touche pas car je ne les connais pas assez

I'm glad you find it interesting Jean Paul..............fungi are often very difficult to identify because they change so much over their lifespan. I wouldn't eat any fungi I saw growing wild :-)

There are a few I know like ceps and chanterelles, but they get picked by professionals and you rarely get a chance,-)
