I have a suspicion this is the wonderfully named bjerkandera adusta (I hope), but wanted some confirmation if poss please from you experts out there.
Also a view of it on the rotting stump with candlesnuff, xylaria, lit by flash - interestingly picks out the whiteness in a sort of quite startling way!

thanks again,
Ken

That's what you have there alright, but there is another species of Bjerkandera called fumosa to be aware of.

Cheer Neil,
fumosa has a light scent, which this didnt - just mushroomy, and checking on websites, it appears to be paler/grey for the cap , so i'm happy with adusta.
