I think this might be "Chicken of the Woods" one of several edible species of Laetiporus fungus. Visible from a public footpath in Nottinghamshire. The fungus and tree it is infecting stand on private land, so even if I was confident about my identification and its conservations status (which I'm not!) I would still leave it well alone!
Santa Fe’s 198 train barrels through Toluca, Illinois, at 6:05 p.m. on May 11, 1991. The scene is classic Santa Fe—piggyback flying over double track high iron; searchlights on a black signal bridge; the traditional station sign; and even the white ballast commonly seen on midwest trackage. Powering the westbound speedster is a quartet of yellowbonnets, with lead EMD GP60 No. 4022 trailed by a pair of GE B40-8s bracketing an EMD GP50.
This is a bracket fungus growing on a large Ash tree and it's the 2nd year that I've noticed it.
In it's early stages it's an acidic yellow gelatinous ball shape oozing liquid.
I've tried to identify it and it would appear to be a Shaggy Bracket, or Ionotus hispidus (source: www.first-nature.com/fungi/inonotus-hispidus.php)
It's described as a bracket fungus that is found mostly on Ash and Apple and leads to white rot decay in the tree.
Some exceptional medicinal benefits though are attributed to this mushroom as a remedy to cancer, diabetes and stomach ailments and the lowering of blood glucose levels.
If anyone can confirm this identification I'd be very grateful.

Tonight whilst I stopped for a breather at a park bench I learned something.
Remember Fuzzy Wazza?
We all thought he was a Bear but turns out he is a moth!!
It is true he has no hair but a mass of matted amazing looking scales instead!

Have a nice day
CFE FWCH has entered IHB rails at Ivanhoe with CWR from Columbia City. The signal brackets in the background are some of the last of its kind in the entire region.
(103/365) A backet fungus of some description growing on a hollow rotten tree stump in Doneraile Park. I was kneeling down on a carpet of Wild Garlic plants to take this photo, the smell was quite overpowering!
Fomitopsis betulina (previously Piptoporus betulinus), commonly known as the birch polypore, birch bracket, or razor strop, is a common bracket fungus and, as the name suggests, grows almost exclusively on birch trees. The brackets burst out from the bark of the tree, and these fruit bodies can last for more than a year.
In November 2006 the Lehigh Line was still single tracked between CP Bound Brook and CP Potter and four-axle power still ruled on NS 212 and 214. Here we see NS 212 motoring through Piscataway behind a trio of four axles...two B32-8s bracketing a GP60.

(280/365) I'm fairly sure this is a Southern Bracket fungus "Ganoderma Australe". There were several growing in tiers on a mature Beech tree in the lane behind Kanturk Castle. The fruit body was about 7 inches across & the Ivy leaves are covered in a dusting of brown spores. For 115 pictures in 2015 #63 Fungi

BNSF 6322 brings up the rear of the UCHELGS Herzog ballast train, as they dump ballast between French and Levy, NM. Bracketing the power are three former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe semaphore signals at WSS Colmor. These blades may be from the early 20th century, but they faithfully continue to perform their duty protecting trains on the TWC portion of the Raton Subdivision.
Not sure of the ID of this species? Taken at the JFK Arboretum. See photo (2) for close up detail of the underside.
Likely a new dryad's saddle, Polyporus squamosus
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
It was a beautiful sight like nature's art growing in our old tree stump.
Bracket fungi cause decay and rot in the heartwood of trees and produce bracket-shaped fruiting bodies on the trunk or main branches. These fungi usually lead to the weakening and eventual breakage or fall of affected trees. Source: www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=98
The Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK
Bracket fungi or polypores are a group of fungi that includes the tough, woody, shelf-like growths on the trunks of dead trees. Some species are parasites of living trees.
Over a 1000 types of polypore have been identified. They 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.
On a dead tree stump at the edge of the forest two small intriguingly coloured and textured brackets - which I am unable to identify more accurately.

Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colours', versicolor reliably describes this fungus that displays different colors. For example, because its shape and multiple colors are similar to those of a wild turkey, T. versicolor is commonly called turkey tail.
