Yew Bracket fungus ?

might be a rare Ganoderma carnosum ( Dunkle Lackporling ) growing on Yew

 

I don`t find Bracket fungi easy to identify and this one is no different !

 

What was unusual here was the fact it grew on an old Yew tree (in a cemetery) and I this is the first fungus I`ve seen growing on yew. Dorset

 

Other possibilities could be Beeswax Bracket / Ganoderma pfeifferi ( Kupferroter Lackporling ) ? Or Lacquered Bracket /

Ganoderma lucidum ( Glänzender Lackporling ) ? Or Red-belted Bracket / Fomitopsis pinicola ( Rotrandige Baumschwamm ) ?
