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.

A great photo with perfect detail! I wouldn't have known what fungus it is but I certainly wouldn't have picked it for eating;-)

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
