Pale (Bracket?) fungus

[Yashca]

I found this growing along and underneath a branch lying on the leaf litter, would be interested to know what it is.






Thanks all!

Kretschmaria deusta it could be. I think the english name is brittle cinder.

I think that may be a stereum.sp, substate (hard or soft wood, would help)
and one test is to make cuts across the underside (the resupinate area)
and see if the cuts turn red, some stereums change colour (bleed) and some
don't, when you get one that does the reaction is unforgettable.
