Growing on a living beech tree in Epping Forest. As far as I can tell this is a species of Ganoderma, probably Ganoderma applanatum.
Bracket Fungus common name "Dryads Saddle" (Polyporus squamosus). So named for its saddle shape. The name Dryads Saddle refers to creatures from Greek Mythology (see Wikipedia)
This bracket fungus was found growing on a rotting stump in Ashridge Forest, west of Beacon Road, Ringshall, Hertfordshire oppposite Dockey Wood.
4079 'Pendennis Castle' stands under the bracket signal next to Princes Risborough North Box, during a 30742 Charters photoshoot while the locomotive visits Chinnor.
Looking for an ID. I love the red drops, which aren't typical of the possible species. Stacked photo. Bola Creek, Royal NP, Australia.
Birch Bracket Fungus / piptoporus betulinus. Morley, Derbyshire. 07/10/20.
'TWO OF A KIND.'
By standing astride this rotting Silver Birch branch, I had a unique opportunity to photograph the two fruiting bodies from directly above. Because the branch was lying horizontally on the woodland floor, the plane of their emergence had been disorientated. They project outwards, left and right so that their undersides are still parallel to the ground. For this to happen they must have emerged when the branch was already lying in this position.
With it’s typical uniform train of JB Hunt double stacks, NS 21G sprints west on the “Water Level Route” towards the setting sun as it split’s one of the several remaining bracket signals on this portion of the line with Waterloo, Indiana in the distance. This train would become one of BNSF’s Q-NYCLAC trains in Chicago and traverse the former Santa Fe mainline across the rest of the United States to California, making it a truly “transcontinental” train.
The little monument in the middle is bracketed by the other two.
I admit that we have been watching "Dark Winds" on TV, a show about Navajo Nation Police. It has reminded us a lot of our brief trip to Monument Valley.
To live here would be extremely challenging. It is scenic and interesting to visit, but stark and definitely not lush. It makes you appreciate what people went through to make this place their home.

The old bracket post signal at Deshler...the slide scanner did not like the "gray ghost" paint, but you get the general idea.
Focus-bracketed macro image of the pore structure on the underside of a bracket fungus on silver birch.
Here are the three most common cockpit box designs or techniques I use. As can be seen, they yield quite a variety of shapes.
Well, some do.
This is by no means exhaustive, as some designs (like the Vic Vipers) use more brackets, or a combination of Cockpit 2 and brackets.
It is also named as Shelf Fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that comprise the phylum Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds.
They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms. Bracket fungi often grow in semi-circular shapes, looking like trees or wood. They can be parasitic, saprotrophic, or both.
Some species of bracket fungi are cultivated for human consumption or medicinal use.They can also be used as a wick in an oil/fat lamp.

Photo taken: Tyresta Park, Stockholm
Only 20 kilometres from the centre of Stockholm lies one of the most unspoilt areas of natural beauty in central Sweden – Tyresta National Park and Nature Reserve.
This bracket fungus was (is) on a stump along one of my favorite paths. The pure white is real; this was taken a day after some rain.
With a pair of clean CN General Electric ES44AC units, an NS 32D train rolls past the classic New York Central-style bracket post signals on the "Water Level Route" at Dunlap, Indiana.
Alas, these vintage signals were replaced later in 2015 as part of a project to add a third main track between Goshen and Elkhart in order to reduce a traffic bottleneck on that section.
Found on patio during spring cleanup. Placed the log on the patio when it was freshly cut, about 12 years ago. Hadn't paid any attention to it since. Wish now I had been tracking the growth of the fungus!
Taken at Chase Water, Staffordshire.
Thank you to everyone who views, faves or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
Bracket Fungi taken Yeadon Tarn
Simple, aerobic organisms (such as mildews, molds, mushrooms, smuts, toadstools, and yeast) which (1) unlike bacteria can grow in low moisture and low pH environments, and have their genetic material bound in a membrane, (2) unlike plants do not have roots or leaves, do not contain chlorophyll, and do not produce their own food, but obtain nourishment from dead organic matter.
Oak Bracket (Pseudoinonotus dryadeus)
"A distinguishing feature of this orange-brown bracket fungus is that its felted surface exudes amber droplets, most noticeably towards the broad growing margin. Although commonly referred to as the Oak Bracket, Pseudoinonotus dryadeus also occurs sometimes on beech, birch and alder trees."
