Normally more bracket-like (see the other picture), this is what purplepore bracket looks like when growing on the underside of a fallen branch. It's almost resupinate, but even here you can see that it wants to curl away from the branch.
This might be Oak bracket / Pseudoinonotus dryadeus or another species that exudes water. Growing on felled hardwood

Blushing Bracket / daedaleopsis confragosa. Cloud Wood, Leicestershire. 14/03/20.
'TOUGH OLD AGERS.'
Three Blushing Bracket fungi growing in a staggered, tiered group. These were the oldest of the nine fruiting bodies I found on a dead, fallen branch. Based on their rich, rusty red colour and thin blackened margins, I think these were old specimens that had probably been in situ for several years. They had the most amazing pitted and split surfaces which made them extremely tactile.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
These woods are used by Birmingam University to assess Carbon Dioxide levels levels. Not this bit though.
Sorry folks we went to the woods again today. Lots more fungi photos to come.
Many of the trees have bands or spots painted on them, looks like they are being chopped down, lots of trees have already gone.

From a stroll around Bramber Brooks this evening. There were several outcrops of this velvety fungus on this particular tree.

"So many of us!
So many of us!
We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,
Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:
We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot’s in the door."
- Sylvia Plath

This pleasing yet unidentified bracket fungi was shot whilst on board m y mobility scooter. Shooting for a shallow depth of field
the visible drops of water on the surface of the mushroom is a result of 'guttation', a term used in botany to describe the process by which plants excrete excess water.
Probably Trametes versicolor, Turkeytail. Seen on a dog walk in Coed Bryntovey, site of the old Little Mill brickworks.
Happy 4th of July to all my Flickr Fans! Classic, Epic Nikon D800E Photos of a Gorgeous Blond Bikini Model Goddess in an American Flag Swimsuit with wavy-blond hair and pretty blue eyes! Pretty, pretty smile! Please share the exalted goddess with your friends for the 4th of July!
Here is some epic video I shot at the same time as the stills with the Sony Alpha NEX 6 camera with the 50 mm F/1.8 prime lens for nex6 e mount cameras bracketed to my Nikon D800E (cool bokeh!):

With the black 45surf surfboard! It gets hot in the sand in the sun!
Combine the shallow-depth-of-field with Sony NEX-6's latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background! The Sony Alpha NEX 6 has much better bokeh than the cameras I have been using! :)
She was tall, thin, fit, toned, defined, and beautiful!

I now have photos of my v.2 bracket up here: www.flickr.com/photos/kangster/sets/72157621728749160/. The new version is not as compact but can take full advantage of E-TTL and auto focus assist.
Polypores are a group of fungi that form fruiting bodies with pores or tubes on the underside (see Delimitation for exceptions). They are a morphological group of basidiomycetes like gilled mushrooms and hydnoid fungi, and not all polypores are closely related to each other. Polypores are also called bracket fungi, and their woody fruiting bodies are called conks.
Most polypores inhabit tree trunks or branches consuming the wood, but some soil-inhabiting species form mycorrhiza with trees. Polypores and their relatives corticioid fungi are the most important agents of wood decay. Thus, they play a very significant role in nutrient cycling and carbon dioxide production of forest ecosystems.
Over one thousand polypore species have been described to science,[1] but a large part of the diversity is still unknown even in relatively well-studied temperate areas. Polypores are much more diverse in old natural forests with abundant dead wood than in younger managed forests or plantations. Consequently, a number of species have declined drastically and are under threat of extinction due to logging and deforestation.
Polypores are used in traditional medicine, and they are actively studied for their medicinal value and various industrial applications. Several polypore species are serious pathogens of plantation trees and are major causes of timber spoilage.
