Thanks for trying.
I have found some photos of Gloeoporus dichrous and it looks very similar to my material and has gelatonous pore layer. There is also an article in 'The Mycologist' Vol 5: p45. re this fungus. It is British but quite rare and usually on hardwoods. In Nordic Macromycetes Vol 3. p157, there is a Gloeoporus that grows on Pine, (G.gelatinosotubulosus) but I do not think it has been recorded in Britain, and I can not find anymore information on it. I will keep searching my material for some spores, and try to establish a positive ID for the log it was growing on.
