Stumped by thin bracket

[CloudedYellow]

Sorry about the poor picture but it was taken one handed - I was balancing on the top of a bank and these were at the bottom of the bank on Alder just above the water line of a pit at Attenborough. If needs be I should be able to improve upon the picture if I go back for a paddle with wellies (but with no one watching in case I fall in!)

There brackets are thin (2-3mm thick) like Trametes versicolour and narrowly attached with a stipe of sorts.

I struggled to collect a small one which has a pleasant mushroomy smell and irregular pores.

The coloration and white edge of the upper surface remind me of a picture I have seen of Trametes pubescens???



Thanks

Hello !

It's Abortiporus biennis !

Often found 'on the ground' but always arising from a buried woody substrate of some kind !

Thanks Nick, I would never have worked that one out.

And I thought the reddish-brown bruising that developed on the upper surface was because I had carried it in my jacket pocket rather than a proper container!

I will definitely go back to improve on the photo! It is in the A-Z.
