Smoky Bracket (Bjerkandera adusta)

The overlapping, stalkless caps of the Smoky Bracket fungus are 3 to 10 cm across with a brown upper surface and a distinctive grey porous underside, hence the common name. It colonises dead wood of deciduous trees, and occasionally on conifer wood. It can be seen from July to November, but persists all year round. It is widespread and fairly common in Britain.
