Rusty Gilled Polypore / Gloeophyllum sepiarium

Rusty Gilled Polypore / Gloeophyllum sepiarium
I think I've identified this fungus correctly! You often find several of these fungi growing in a row or cluster on a log. Photographed (macro) at Maclean Pond, Kananaskis (off Elbow Falls Trail) on August 16th.

"Gloeophyllum sepiarium is a wood decay fungus that causes a brown rot. Gloeophyllum sepiarium grow in thin, dark brown/green brackets on coniferous trees. Fruiting bodies can be seen throughout the year, but it sporulates in late summer to autumn. Gloeophyllum sepiarium is infrequent and inedible."
