Do you think it might be a polypore? A chap from another website thought it might be a polyporus squamosus...any thoughts? |

Looks like three bracket fungi on top of each other.

Most definitely not Polyporus Squamosus. Could you possibly find out what tree it is growing on as it could aid the correct identification.

The two that come to mind are Oak Maze Gill - Daedalea quercina - and Daedaleopsis confragosa. Both grow in a similar fashion, though the gill surfaces are quite different, the former having much larger 'pores'.
With luck someone will be able to be more precise. |

Daedalea quercina was my first thought, that's why I'm asking about the tree |

There were quite a lot of silver birch around - not sure it was a birch though - it was covered in moss... | | |
